Question

Write equation in standard form y-1= -1/4(x-6)

Answer 1

The standard form:

`Ax+By=C`

---------------------------------------

`y-1=-(1)/(4)(x-6)` use distributive property

`y-1=-(1)/(4)x+(3)/(2)` multiply both sides by 8

`8y-8=-2x+4\cdot3`

`8y-8=-2x+12` add 2x to both sides

`2x+8y-8=12` add 8 to both sides

`\boxed{2x+8y=20}`
