Question

Is the equation below written in standard form? If not, select which explanation best applies to why the equation is not written in standard form.. -2x+3y=-5. a.the requirement that A>or equal to 0 is not satisfied. b. the requirement that A and B are not both zero satisfied . c.A, B, and C do not have a greatest common factor of 1. d.the equation is written in standard form

Answer 1

The statement is:

Option: a

a. the requirement that A>or equal to 0 is not satisfied.

Explanation:

We know that the standard form of a line is represented in the form:

Ax+By=C

where A is a positive integer and B,C are integers.

Here we are given a equation as:

-2x+3y=-5

Here we do not have a equation in standard form since A=-2<0

but for the equation to be in standard form A≥0

Hence, the statement that best applies to why the equation is not written in standard form is:

a. the requirement that A>or equal to 0 is not satisfied.

Answer 2

The standard form is Ax + By = C.

Yes, the equation -2x + 3y = -5 is in the standard form. This can be simplified more ito 2x - 3y = 5.

The correct answer to this question is letter "a. the requirement that A>or equal to 0 is not satisfied."
