Question

Y+4=-12/7(x-1) in standard form

Answer 1

Answer: y +
`(12)/(7)`x = -
`(16)/(7)`

Explanation:

Standard form is Ay + Bx = C,

Given:

y+4=-12/7(x-1)

Rewrite:

y + 4 =
`(-12)/(7)`(x - 1)

Distribute:

y + 4 =
`(-12)/(7)`x +
`(12)/(7)`

Subtract 4 from both sides:

y =
`(-12)/(7)`x +
`(12)/(7)` - 4

Add
`(12)/(7)`x to both sides:

y +
`(12)/(7)`x = +
`(12)/(7)` - 4

Combine like terms:

y +
`(12)/(7)`x = -
`(16)/(7)`
