Question

Write standard form for the equation of the line: y = 1/2x - 5*

Answer 1

`-(1)/(2)x+y=-5\Rightarrow s\tan dard\text{ form}`

Step-by-step 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

so, we need to write in this form

`Ax+By=C`

Step 1

subtrac 1/2x in both sides

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x-5 \\ \\ y-(1)/(2)x=(1)/(2)x-5-(1)/(2)x \\ \\ y-(1)/(2)x=-5 \\ \text{reorder} \\ -(1)/(2)x+y=-5 \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you
