Question

Write y - 2 = 1/3(x + 6) in standard form

Answer 1

x − 3y = −12

Explanation:

`y-2=(1)/(3)\left(x+6\right)`

switch sides

`(1)/(3)\left(x+6\right)=y-2`

multiply both sides by 3

`3\cdot (1)/(3)\left(x+6\right)=3y-3\cdot \:2`

simplify

`x+6=3y-6`

subtract 6 from both sides

`x+6-6=3y-6-6`

simplify

`x=3y-12`

standard form

`x-3y=-12`

Answer 2

x−3y=−12
