Question

Y=-1/2x-4 in standard form with instructions on how you got it.

Answer 1

x + 2y = -8

Explanation:

In the standard form you want the x and the y on one side of the equation. So, lets add 1/2x to both sides. We then get 1/2x + y = -4. However, we want the x coefficient to be an integer. So, lets multiply the entire equation by 2, and we get x + 2y = -8, and that is our answer.
