Question

The question asks me to put y = -2/5x - 3 in standard form with integers. I know that standard form is Ax + By = C but how do I convert it?

Answer 1

\[y=-\frac{2}{5}x-3\] muitiply by 5 first

Answer 2

\[5y=-2x-15\]

Answer 3

add \(2x\) to put it in standard form

Answer 4

okay so I add to both sides or just the right?

Answer 5

what you do on the left you do on the right
you want all the variables on the right
\[5y=-2x-15\\
2x+5y=-15\]

Answer 6

Okay. Thanks so much misty1212!
