Question

What is y-2=-3 (x-7) in standard form

A.y-2=--3x+21
B.y=-3x+23
C.3x+y-23=0
D.3x+y=23​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

D. 3x +y = 23​

Explanation:

If you know what "standard form" is, then you recognize that only one offered answer choice is actually in standard form. That is the correct choice.

3x + y = 23​

_____

Standard form for a linear equation is ...

ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and a ≥ 0. If a = 0, then b > 0. (The leading coefficient is positive.)
