Answer:

The "Standard Form" for writing down a Linear Equation is

Ax + By = C

A shouldn't be negative, A and B shouldn't both be zero, and A, B and C should be integers.

--------------------------------

y = 4/5x + 2

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

5y = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x from both sides

-4x + 5y = 10 This is answer D, BUT A shouldn't be negative

Multiply both sies by -1

4x - 5y = -10 This is correct Standard Form, BUT it is not one of the choices

Answer D is closest to being correct

What is y=4/5x+2 written in standard form? Chose 1 answer: A.−4/5​x+y−2=0 B. 5y=4x-example-1
