Question

Write y=-5/8x+3 in standard form using integers?

Answer 1

standard form of given equation is 5x - 8y = -3

Explanation:

`y= (5)/(8)x + 3`

Standard form of linear equation is Ax + By = C

First we remove the denominator 8

We multiply the whole equation by 8

So equation becomes

8y = 5x + 3

Now we move 5x to the left hand side, we subtract 5x on both sides

-5x + 8y = 3

Now we remove the negative side from -5x by dividing the whole equation by -1

5x - 8y = -3
