Question

write y=(-3/4)x+3 in standard form using integers.
Please help:D will fan and medal

Answer 1

to start things off, you can multiply both sides by the LCD 4 to get

y=(-3/4)x+3

4*y=4*[(-3/4)x+3]

4y = 4*(-3/4)*x + 4*3

4y = (-12/4)x + 12

4y = -3x + 12

Notice how the fraction went away

Answer 2

now you need to get the equation into the form Ax+By = C

Answer 3

how do i do that?

Answer 4

A,B,C are just fixed numbers

for example, 2x+3y = 7 is in Ax+By = C form where A = 2, B = 3, C = 7

Answer 5

how would you change 4y = -3x + 12 to get it into the form Ax+By = C?

or put another way, how would you change 4y = -3x + 12 so that it looks like 2x+3y = 7

Answer 6

-3x+4y=12?

Answer 7

you can't just move the -3x over like that

Answer 8

you have to do something to both sides to move it over

Answer 9

What do i have to move?
i have so many rules mixed up in my head i cant think of how to do anything rn.
