Question

Write the equation in standard form: 3x – 1 = 2y
(Points : 1)
3x + 2y = 1
3x – 2y = 1
3x + 2y = –1
3x – 2y = –1

Answer 1

Standard form:\[y = mx + b\]To get there, you'll need to rearrange your equation so that the y is on one side and everything else is on the other.\[3x-1=2y\]In this case, that step is already complete. All that's left is to divide everything by y's coefficient.\[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 2

Oops- that should be minus one-half, not plus one-half!
