Question

What is y + 4 = 2(x-5) in standard form?A. -2x + y = -14B. y = 2x - 14C. y + 4 = 2x-10D. 2x - y = 14

Answer 1

The given equation is

`y+4=2(x-5)`

The standard form is

`Ax+By=C`

First, we have to use the distributive property

`y+4=2x-10`

Then, we have to move the variables to the left side and the constants to the right side.

`\begin{gathered} -2x+y=-10-4 \\ -2x+y=-14 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
