Question

How would I change the problem given below from slope intercept form in to standard form.

Answer 1

`(2)/(3)x\text{ + y = 5}`

Step-by-step explanation

We have the equation in slope-intercept form:

`y\text{ = -}(2)/(3)x\text{ + 5}`

The standard form of a linear equation is:

`\begin{gathered} Ax\text{ + By = C} \\ \text{where A, B and C are constants} \end{gathered}`

So, we will rearrange the equation to get that:

`\Rightarrow\text{ }(2)/(3)x\text{ + y = 5}`

That is the standard form.
