Question

Write the standard form of the equation y-3=-2/3(x+5). NEED HELP. HELP ME PLEASE!! I'm begging..

Answer 1

y - 3 = -2/3(x + 5) -- distribute through the parenthesis
y - 3 = -2/3x - 10/3 -- add 3 to both sides
y = -2/3x - 10/3 + 3
y = -2/3x - 10/3 + 9/3
y = -2/3x - 1/3

now change to Ax + By = C
y = -2/3x - 1/3 -- add 2/3 to each side
2/3x + y = -1/3 -- multiply the entire equation by 3
2x + 3y = -1 <-- standard form

any questions ?
