Question

Which equation shows y=-1/2x +4 is in standard form?

Answer 1

x+2y=8

Explanation:

Answer 2

The equation in standard form is x + 2y = 8

Solution:

Given that we have to write the given equation in standard form

The equation given is:

`y = (-1)/(2)x + 4`

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C

In this kind of equation, x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers. When we shift the variable terms to the left side of the equation and everything else to the right side, we get the standard form.

`y = (-1)/(2)x + 4\\\\y = (-x)/(2) + 4\\\\y =(-x + 8)/(2)\\\\2y = -x + 8`

Keep the variables on one side and constant term on other side

x + 2y = 8

Thus the above equation is in standard form of Ax + By = C
