How do I convert this to standard form?

steve816 · Answer

$$y=\frac{ -11 }{ 9 x}+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }$$

anonymous · Answer

is y the LHS of an equation for a line?
If so, the x should be moved to the numerator.

steve816 · Answer

Sorry, I kind of messed up on writing the equation. It's supposed to be like this:$$y=-\frac{ 11 }{ 9 }x+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }$$

Umm can you please give me a demonstration using this example??

anonymous · Answer

Ax+By=C

Eliminate the fractions in the problem. Do you know how you can do that?

anonymous · Answer

Denominators are 9 & 3 which equal 27. If you multiply the entire equation by the common denominator (27), you can eliminate the fraction.
27 (y=-11x/9 + 1/3)
27y = -33x+9

anonymous · Answer

To reach standard form, get the x & y on the same side of the equation.

anonymous · Answer

Get ride of the fractions by multiplying each side of the equation by 27.
27 y = -33 x + 9
Then move the x term to the LHS.
33x +27y = 9

steve816 · Answer

Wait, can't you multiply the equations by 9?

anonymous · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer

the word ride should have been spelled rid.

anonymous · Answer

You could.
9y = -11x+3
That should have been the choice...wasn't thinking...rusty

anonymous · Answer

Would give you 11x + 9y = 3

anonymous · Answer

Divide each side of the following equation by 3.
33x +27y = 9
