Question

Can someone explain to me how to do this problem please?

What is the equation of the given linein standard form? Use interger coefficents.
y=-1.7x+8.5

Answer 1

`1.7x+y=8.5`

Explanation:

Write the equation of the given line in standard form

Standard form of the equation is Ax+By=C

`y=-1.7x+8.5`

To get standard form we move x terms to the left hand side

Add 1.7x on both sides

`y+1.7x=8.5`

The standard form of the equation is

`1.7x+y=8.5`

Answer 2

slope intercept form
y = mx + b

change it to standard form
ax +by = c

y = -1.7x + 8.5
1.7x + y = 8.5

multiply 10 on both side

17x + 10y = 85

hope this help
