Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
how do you write these in standard form:
1. y=7x-5
2. 3y-5=0

Answer 1

can you help me?

Answer 2

Standard form is something = 0.

Answer 3

Or at least where you have = some constant.

Answer 4

@qpHalcy0n thx and i figured that but idk how to put them in that form

Answer 5

Well, can you see if one of them is in standard form already?

Answer 6

it would be 3y-5=0 but dont you have to change that?

Answer 7

Yes, because the variables arent by themselves there. In many cases they'll ask questions where it's already in standard form, in those instances you don't have to do anything.

Here, you can simply add the 5 to both sides for 3y-5 = 0

Answer 8

ok thanks

Answer 9

The proper standard form is:
\[Ax + By = C\]
So the leading coefficients (A) must be positive.

Answer 10

ok what about y=7x-5

Answer 11

We must get the 7x with the y. So you can subtract 7x from both sides, then what do you get?

Answer 12

how do you subtract 7x from y
