8y + 4 = -3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat ? Is it complate ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to Type this equation in standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK ! Standard form is this : y=mx+d So y dont have any think :) and we should kill the -3 .! Got it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how can we do that ??:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm i have no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-0.375x-0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think /-3 is good :) Right ?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first take -4 to other side , then divide to make y's coefficient 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

our aim is y should have coefficient 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and only y should be on that side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz the standard form of a line's eqn is y = mx =c , where m is slope and c is constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = mx +c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if we have /-3 have standard :) k ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confuse all the way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No , e.ali , don't kill -3 , that becomes part of the slope , dont confuse the person

OpenStudy (anonymous):

listen to me , take 4 to the other side so that there is only y on LHS , then divide everything by 8 to get it in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's so simple , y should have a coefficient of 1 that's all !!!
