Question

Write the equation y=-1/2x+3 in standard form.

Answer 1

well standard form looks like this Ax+By=C
And some teachers prefer A,B,C to be integers

So this means we need to get that term with an x on the side with the term with the y

Answer 2

That is one step to perform.

Answer 3

There is just one more after that.

Answer 4

standard form of a straight line= ax+by+c=0

y=(-1/2)x+3
multiply by -2 throughout and then bring it to to that form :)

Answer 5

1/2x + y = -1/2x + 1/2x + 3
y + 1/2x = 3

like that?

Answer 6

yes and you can write that
as 1/2*x+y=3
now to get all the coefficients to be integer
multiply by 2 on both sides
(this will get rid of that fraction thingy)

Answer 7

@surryyy are you having problems?

Answer 8

multiplying 2 on both sides -
2(1/2x +y) =2(3)
x+2y=6
x+2y-6=0

Answer 9

I would probably leave as x+2y=6

Answer 10

I think Ax+By+C=0 this is general form
but sometimes called standard form

Answer 11

oh ok ty
