Question

Write this equation in standard form, y=-9/5x-3.

Answer 1

9x + 5y = -15

Explanation:

Standard form is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers and x and y are variables. We need to rearrange the given equation to match this formula.

y = -
`(9)/(5)`x - 3

Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction

5y = -9x - 15

Add 9x to both sides to put it in standard form

9x + 5y = -15
