Question

What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Use integer coefficients.

y = –1.7x + 8.5


17x + 10y = 85
–17x + 10y = 85
–17x + 10y = –85
17x + 10y = –85

Answer 1

First multiply every term by 10 to get

y = –1.7x + 8.5

10*y = 10*(–1.7x) + 10*8.5

10y = -17x + 85

Answer 2

Then add 17x to both sides

10y = -17x + 85

17x + 10y = 85
