Question

What is y = -1/4x +4 written in standard form?

Answer 1

`y = -(1)/(4)x +4\ /\cdot4\\4y=-x+16\\x+4y=16\\C`

Answer 2

C) x + 4y = 16

Explanation:

The standard form of a line is in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.

As we need all the coefficients to be integers, we have to multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation (that will make the coefficient of x integer). We have to multiply it on both sides because is an equation.

4*y = 4*(-1/4x + 4)

4y = -x + 16

Now we need the x-term to be on the left side of the equation, so we add x on both sides:

x + 4y = -x + 16 + x

x + 4y = 16
