Question

Can you please show me how to change this equation to standard form with steps, please?y = 1,125x + 1,431

Answer 1

The standard form of a linear equation is given by:

`\begin{gathered} Ax+By=C \\ A\in\R \\ B\in\R \\ C\in\R \end{gathered}`

So:

For:

`y=1.125x+1.431`

We need to isolate the constant term, so subtract 1.125x from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} y-1.125x=1.125x+1.431-1.125x \\ -1.125x+y=1.431 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

-1.125x + y = 1.431
