Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line with m = -3/2 and b = 6

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form, the m position is the slope and the b position is the y intercept.
So we have : y = -3/2x + 6
But we want standard form (Ax + By = C)
y = -3/2x + 6 -- add 3/2x to both sides
3/2x + y = 6 -- can't have fractions, so multiply equation by 2
3x + 2y = 12 ===> standard form

Answer 2

any questions ?

Answer 3

no. Thanks. Can you help me with one more?

Answer 4

I can try

Answer 5

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line with m = -1 /2 and b = 1

Answer 6

y = -1/2x + 1

This is not the answer, but do you know how I arrived at this ?

Answer 7

when m is -1/2 and b is 1, your equation becomes this. Do you understand so far ?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

y = -1/2x + 1 --- add 1/2x to both sides
1/2x + y = 1 -- no fractions, so multiply entire equation by 2
x + 2y = 2 ==> standard form

Answer 10

thanks

Answer 11

sure thing :)
