Question

Y=3x, is this in standard form? And if not can i get an explanation on why not?

Answer 1

no but see explanation

Explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

rearrange y = 3x into this form

subtract y from both sides

0 = 3x - y, hence

3x - y = 0 ← in standard form

Answer 2

Answer: i would say no

Explanation:

To write a linear equation in standard form, move each variable term to the left side of the equation and simplify.

Ax+By=C

Since x

is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

3x=y

Move y

to the left side of the equation because it contains a variable.

3x−y=0
