Question

How do I change y=3/5x-9 into standard form?

Answer 1

write it in the form ax+by +c = 0
basic arithmetic manipulation.

Answer 2

so I get -3/5x+y=-9, do I multiply both sides by negative nine to get a positive x?

Answer 3

no. you add 9 to both sides.

Answer 4

3/5x -y -9=0
3-5xy-45x=0
45x +5xy -3 =0
5x(9+y) -3 =0
