Question

The equation 0.5x - y = 2 is expressed in the standard form for a linear equation. is this true or false

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation can be represented as follows;

That would be;

y = mx + c

Where m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept

But in the question, the equation given is;

0.5x -y = 2

This is not the form of the standard form ;

Although if the equation above can be rearranged, we can get it to look like the standard form.
