Hey there
I need help with understanding the standard form of a line. Why X=9 has 0 for B?

anonymous · Answer

$$ax+bx=c$$ is the standard form of a line. im not sure what you mean with your comment
can you give me a problem where this occurs?

anonymous · Answer

I have to convert x=9 to the form

anonymous · Answer

looks like its in standard form. if b is zero that means 
and I messed up on my equation. I forgot y
ax+by=c 
plug 9 in for x and 0 in for b

I don't understand..could you go into detaiil please

because y*0=0

anonymous · Answer

OK when you want someone with their math questions or whatever be prepared for it. You weren't clear in your explanation at all. But thanks for replying.

anonymous · Answer

$$ax+by=c$$if b=0 then
$$ax+(0)y=9\to ax=9$$
where 9 in = to c
and what more can I explain??

phi · Answer

standard form is 
A x + B y = C

in your case, A is 1 and B is 0 and C is 9. you get
  x =  9
