Answer 2

What are you solving for...

Answer 3

@kdblankenship48

Answer 4

Putting it in standard form ax+by=c

Answer 5

So first we need to take care of y-(-2)
then we need to distribute the -3/4 into the parenthesis.

Answer 6

\[a-(-b)=a+b\]
so what does y-(-2)=??

Answer 7

lol can you explain it a little simpler, im a junior in highschool.

Answer 8

well so am I...

Answer 9

well, im struggling and you seem a lot smarter.

Answer 10

When you subtract a negative number you have to add them together...

Answer 11

i got that part

Answer 12

so a-(-b)=a+b
and y-(-2)=???
a=y
b=2
Then y+2
So y-(-2)=y+2

Answer 13

lol i was gonna put that but i thought i was wrong

Answer 14

Always believe in yourself. If you get it wrong.. I am here to help you understand...

Answer 15

so y+2=-3/4x-6/8?

Answer 16

umm.. no

Answer 17

ughhhh

Answer 18

Ok so we got the y+2 lets leave that alone. Lets distribute the -3/4 inside...

Answer 19

okay

Answer 20

\[\frac{ -3 }{ 4 }(x-2)=\frac{ -3 }{ 4 }x -(2)(\frac{ -3 }{4 })\]

Answer 21

Distributing inside means multiplying it inside to each value...

Answer 22

\[a(x+y)=ax+ay\]

Answer 23

i need to get the equation to y=mx+b and then change it to standard form

Answer 24

So you should get so far
\[y+2=\frac{ -3 }{ 4 }x+\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 25

yaaaaassss
thats what i got

Answer 26

Because \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\times 2=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\times 1\]

Answer 27

\[y+2-2=\frac{ -3 }{ 4 }x+\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }-2\]

Answer 28

So what does y=??

Answer 29

okay y=-3/4x-1/2?

Answer 30

\[y=-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x-\frac{ 1 }{2 }\] is correct. ^_^

Answer 31

yay! okay, now what?

Answer 32

we just add 3/4x to get it into Ax+By=C

Answer 33

so 3/4x+2y?

Answer 34

No it would just be
3/4x+y=-1/2

Answer 35

oh okay

Answer 36

There is an implied 1 in front of the y because 1y=y, 1x=x, 1a=a

Answer 37

gotcha

Answer 38

so that's the answer?

Answer 39

Yup...
