Question

Convert the following equation
into standard form.

y = -7x/2 - 3

Answer 1

Standard form: Ax + By = C

y = -7x/2 - 3
y+3 = -7x/2
2y + 6 = -7x
7x + 2y = -6

Final possible answers: 7x + 2y = -6 or
6 = -7x-2y

Answer 2

7x + 2y = - 6

Explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

given

y = -
`(7)/(2)` x - 3 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

2y = - 7x - 6 ( add 7x to both sides )

7x + 2y = - 6 ← in standard form
