Question

y+2=-3/5(x+10) in standard form

Answer 1

distribute your 3/5 to (x+10), then subtract the 2 to the other side.

Answer 2

i dont understand still

Answer 3

do you know what the distribution property is? a(b+c) = ab+ac

Answer 4

so it is 3/5x +6-y=2

Answer 5

y=-3/5x

Answer 6

wait... woops.. error...y=-3/5x-8

Answer 7

The equation is not yet written in standard form as dictated by the question.
Standard form: Ax + By = C.

So, we have:
y=-3/5x-8
Multiplying by 5 yields:

5y = -3x - 40

3x + 5y = 40 --> is the given equation in standard form
