Question

3. Rewrite the equation y - 3 = } (x + 4) in standard form]

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of a line is:

`ax+by=c`

where a must be a positive number.

To rewrite the given equation in standard form we have to put x and y on the same side of the equation and leave the independant numbers on the other side:

`\begin{gathered} y-3=(1)/(2)x+(1)/(2)\cdot4 \\ y-3=(1)/(2)x+2 \\ y-3-2=(1)/(2)x+2-2 \\ y-5=(1)/(2)x \\ -5=(1)/(2)x-y \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The equation in standard form is 1/2 x - y = -5
