Question

What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Use integer coefficients.y = -6.9x + 5.1

Answer 1

A. -69x + 10y = 51

B. 69x + 10y = 51

C. 69x + 10y = -51

D. -69x + 10y = -51

Answer 2

ok. what form is it in now?

Answer 3

@AriPotta what do you mean

Answer 4

i want to make sure that you know the different forms for equations of lines. what form is y = -6.9x + 5.1 written in?

Answer 5

i d know i dont even know what your asking

Answer 6

there's standard form, slope-intercept form, and point-slope form.

Answer 7

this is pont- slope form right

Answer 8

no :/ point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 9

o haha im stupid

Answer 10

ok, so it's obviously in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b

Answer 11

do you know what standard form is?

Answer 12

@AriPotta no

Answer 13

standard form: Ax + By = C

Answer 14

and A cannot be negative or a fraction

Answer 15

so how can we get y = -6.9x + 5.1 into standard form?

Answer 16

by adding 6.9 to each side?

Answer 17

right, but you gotta include the x. so what do you get after adding 6.9x to both sides?

Answer 18

12x

Answer 19

12x? how'd you get 12x?

Answer 20

i add both sides like you said
