What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Y = 5/8X - 9 Blurry on standard form. Can someone show me the process to solving this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply everything by 8. Get x & y on same side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8y = x-72 x-8y = 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Y=\frac{ 5 }{ 8 }X - 9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry; that's what I meant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's how I understood it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh alright; I was wondering though why 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It helped us eliminate the fraction. Standard form doesn't have fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh!! Thank you!
