Standard form of a line:

Ax + By = C

where A is a positive integer, B is an integer and C is a constant.

10. y + 1 = x + 2

y + 1 - y = x + 2 - y subtracting y at both sides

1 = x + 2 - y

1 - 2 = x + 2 - y - 2 subtracting 2 at both sides

-1 = x - y

13. y - 4 = -(x - 1)

(y - 4)*(-1) = -(x - 1)*(-1) Multiplying by -1 at both sides

-y + 4 = x - 1

-y + 4 + y = x - 1 + y Adding y at both sides

4 = x - 1 + y

4 + 1 = x - 1 + y + 1 Adding 1 at both sides

5 = x + y

16. y - 10 = -2(x - 3)

(y - 10)/(-2) = -2(x - 3)/(-2) Dividing by -2 at both sides

y/-2 +5 = x - 3

2*(y/-2 +5) = 2*(x - 3) Multiplying by 2 at both sides

-y + 10 = 2x + 6

-y + 10 + y = 2x + 6 + y Adding y at both sides

10 = 2x + 6 + y

10 - 6 = 2x + 6 + y - 6 subtracting 6 at both sides

4 = 2x + y
