Question

Y=2x-3 put in standard form

The slope of any vertical line is always m =
A. 1 B. 0 C. -1 D. undefined.
The equation 3x + 7y = 105 represents the number of bags of sand (x) and bags of
mulch (y) that can be purchased for $105. If no bags of sand are purchased, how many bags of
Mulch can be purchased with $105?
A. 25 bags B. 15 bags C. 10 bags D. 17 bags

Answer 1

To put the equation y = 2x - 3 in standard form, we need to eliminate the fraction in the coefficient of x and rearrange the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 2x - 3 is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b. To put it in standard form, which is Ax + By = C, we need to get rid of the fraction in the coefficient of x. We can do this by multiplying the entire equation by 2 (the denominator of the coefficient of x):

2y = 4x - 6

Next, we rearrange the equation to isolate the x and y terms on one side:

4x - 2y = 6

The resulting equation, 4x - 2y = 6, is in standard form.
