Question

Put the following equation in standard form.

6y = 8x +1/4

Answer 1

Put it in this form: \[Ax+By=C \quad A,B,C \in \mathbb{Z}\]

Answer 2

8x-6y+1/4=0 or 32x-24+1=0..

Answer 3

^That's wrong.

Answer 4

or 8x-6y=-1/4 or 32x+24y= -1

Answer 5

Standard form of a line is y=mx+c

Answer 6

@beeqay, I'm honestly not sure which standard form the question refers to. Typically, \(Ax+By=C\) is the standard form. (A, B, and C are integers.)

Answer 7

Wikipedia lists it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation#Standard_form

Answer 8

@Limitless Yes but that is a straight line. While your equation is true, I think that is true for parabolas.

Answer 9

..Parabolas? Those are quadratic equations. This is a linear equation. What are you talking about?

Answer 10

What's the shape of a quadratic equation in graph?

Answer 11

y=mx+b is an slope intercept form..

Answer 12

Coolstude, I said you were wrong because you didn't do what the question asked. You also posted an answer, rather than helping.

Answer 13

Beeqay, it depends entirely on what your quadratic is. This is related to the study of conics.

Answer 14

hmm, actually yea that is true. ax+by=c is the standard form
Limitless, a quadratic equation is a parabola, hence my reference to parabolas. We on the same page now?

Answer 15

Yeah, actually. I wasn't aware that all quadratics were strictly parabolas. However, I'm not entirely sure what parabolas have to do with this.

Answer 16

Yea never mind, I thought the standard form of a line would be it's slope intercept line, been too too long since I saw such a question.
