Question

How do you write y=25x-56 in standard form?

12x-30y=25
25x+y=-56
-12x+30y=-25
-25x+y=56

Answer 1

To put a slope-intercept into standard form, you have to first cancel out the fractions. So:

`y = (2)/(5)x - (5)/(6)`

Turns into:

`(5)(6)y = ((2)/(5)x - (5)/(6))(5)(6)`

Simplify:

`30y = ((2)/(5)x - (5)/(6))(30)`

Distribute:

`30y = 12x- 25`

Since you want to get x and y on the same side, you subtract 12x from both sides to get:

`-12x+30y = -25`

So, your answer is C. Hope this all made sense! If it doesn't you know where to get a hold of me, so just dm me. Or if you more problems.
