Question

What is the equation of this line in standard form using integer coefficients?

Answer 1

Are you going to post the equation?

Answer 2

\[y=\frac{ 5 }{ 8 }x-9\]

Answer 3

@alexawb multiply both sides by 8, could you do that?

Answer 4

\[y=\frac 5 8 x-9\]
\[8\times y=8\times (\frac 5 8 x-9)\]
could you take it from here?

Answer 5

Yess thank you!

Answer 6

After you're done, just post the simplified equation here.

Answer 7

y=5x-72 ? But is that in the integer coefficient form?

Answer 8

Yes, but we need to move things a little, subtract both sides by y and add 72 to both the sides. Would you do that?

Answer 9

I got it, 5x + 8y = -72 :) Thanks for your help

Answer 10

You're welcome:)
