Question

How do I convert y = 2/3 x - 7 to standard ax + by +c = 0 form

Answer 1

*more so I do i get the = 0 part...??

Answer 2

Since you have a denominator of 3, first multiply both sides by 3.
Then add or subtract the terms on the right side to move them to the left side.

Answer 3

y = 2/3 x - 7
Multiply both sides by 3:
(3)y = (3)(2/3 x - 7)
What do you get? Remember to distribute the 3 on the right side.

Answer 4

so
3y = 2x -21

Answer 5

what do i do from here?

Answer 6

Now since you want everything on the left side, subtract 2x from both sides, and add 21 to both sides.

Answer 7

can you please show the following steps

Answer 8

3y = 2x - 21
-2x + 21 -2x + 21
--------------------------
-2x + 3y + 21 = 0
If you don't like to have a negative sign at the beginning (with the x term), you can multiply both sides by -1 and get
2x - 3y - 21 = 0

Answer 9

but i also saw a formula in standard from as 2x-3y = 12. would this be condisered stard from

Answer 10

*standard form
