Can someone please help me? I just want to check my answer.
I'm supposed to convert y + 2 = - ( x - 2 ) into standard form Ax + By = C
I have the answer but I just want to double check it to be sure. Thanks! :)

My answer is x + y = 0
I don't know if it's correct or not. Help?

That's incorrect. First, let's distribute the negative inside those parenthesis. What would you get?

Also, I think you're missing an equal sign.

anonymous · Answer

Whoops. 
y + 2  = - ( x - 2 )
y + 2  = -x + 2

adamk · Answer

Ah, that's better. Ok, good you distributed correctly. Then add "x" to both sides. 
y + x + 2 = 2 Then, subtract 2
x + y = 0.
Good you got it right! Just wasn't sure about that first equation.
