Question

Write y=8/7x -7 in standard form

Answer 1

`7y-8x=-49` or
`-8x+7y=-49`

Explanation:

Standard form is:

Ax+By=C

In this case, we can start by subtracting 8/7x from both sides:

`y=(8)/(7)x-7\\y-(8)/(7)x=-7`

Multiply both sides by 7 to remove the fraction:

`7(y-(8)/(7)x)=-7(7)\\7y-8x=-49`
