Question

Writing the Standard Form of a Line

Try it
Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (8, -1) and (2,-5) in standard form, given that the point
slope form is y + 1 = 2/3 (x – 8).
____x + ____y = ____

Answer 1

Explanation:

In standard form, represented by the formula
, all the constants and coefficients of the terms are integers, the terms have no common factors (besides 1), and the number in place of A is positive. Knowing this, convert the equation to standard form like so:
