Question

What is the equation of the given line in standard form use integer coefficients y=-1.7x+8.5

Answer 1

Y= -1.7x + 8.5
10( Y = -1.7 x + 8.5)
10Y = -17x + 85
+17x
17x + 10Y = 85

Answer 2

The standard form of a straight line is given by

`ax+by+c=0`

We have to convert the given equation in the above mentioned standard form. In order to do the same, we can first multiply both sides by 10.

`10y=-17x+85`

Now, we can add 17x to both sides.

`10y+17x=85`

Now, we can subtract 85 to both sides of the equation

`10y+17x-85=0`

We can rewrite this equation as

`17x+10y-85=0`

Therefore, the standard form of the line is given by 17x+10y-85=0
