Question

Choose the Standard Form of the equation y = −one over twox − 5

Answer 1

For Standard Form, the equation is set up as Ax+By = C
Here's we have -5 as C, you must now get the x to the other side of the equals sign.

Answer 2

how do i do that

Answer 3

Add 1/2x to both sides, that way you take the -1/2x away from one side and transfer it to the other. Because what you do to one side of the equation, must happen to the other side as well.

Answer 4

x + 2y = −10 is this right

Answer 5

You multiplied by 2, you don't really need to in this case, leaving it as (1/2)x + y = -5 is fine. Which is just the subtraction part. But you did, in fact multiply and add correctly.

Answer 6

Thanks again for the help!!

Answer 7
