Question

Convert y+2= 1/4(x-8) into standard form

Answer 1

x - 4y = 16

Explanation:

y + 2 = 1/4(x - 8) Distribute the 1/4

y + 2 = 1/4 x - 2 Multiply all the way through by 4 to remove the fraction

4y -8 = x - 8 Subtract 4y from both sides

-8 = x - 8 -4y Add 8 to both sides

16 = x - 4y

Which is the same as

x = 4y = 18
