Choose the Standard Form of the equation y = −1/2x − 5.
x + 2y = −10
1/2X+Y= -5
2x + y = −5

−2x + y = −10

Question

Choose the Standard Form of the equation y = −1/2x − 5. 
x + 2y = −10 
1/2X+Y= -5
 2x + y = −5 

 −2x + y = −10

turingtest · Answer

in standard form you want to solve everything for the constant, and get rid of any fractions

add (1/2)x to both sides to get the variables on the left. what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

2x + y = −5

turingtest · Answer

how did you get rid of the fraction?

turingtest · Answer

$$y=-\frac12x-5$$add $\large\frac12x$ to both sides
tell me what you get from that and we'll take it from there

hm... you seem to be lacking some very fundamental parts of algebra

could you solve 2x+12=16
?

NOO

turingtest · Answer

then I'm afraid you need to step back a bit, and find where you lost track of algebra so that we can start to help you
otherwise it would be like you are just asking for answers
