Can someone explain to me how to do this problem please?
What is the equation of the given linein standard form? Use interger coefficents.
y=-1.7x+8.5

anonymous · Answer

Hint:

It's in Slope-Intercept form:
y = mx + b

You need to change it to standard form:
ax + by = c

So:
y= -1.7x + 8.5
+ 1.7x
1.7x + y = 8.5

anonymous · Answer

my options are-
17x+10y=85
-17x+10y=85
-17x+10y=-85
17x+10y=-85
