Question

Write An Equation Of Each Line In Standard Form With Integer Coefficient
1.Y=1/2X-2
2.Y=-7X-9
*DIFFERENT PROBLEMS *

Answer 1

1. 2=1/2x-y

(I think? I'm not positive.)

Answer 2

2. 9=-7x-y

Answer 3

Your Not Positive ?

Answer 4

Someone else please check my work before confirming, I don't want to give a wrong answer ;-;

Answer 5

lol its ok

Answer 6

Standard form is `Ax+By=C` where A,B,C are whole numbers (most books make A to be a positive number)

Answer 7

example of standard form

2x+3y = 10

Answer 8

Ohh

Answer 9

2 will be a and 3 will be b and 10 will be c

Answer 10

for my example, yes

Answer 11

the goal is to somehow transform y=1/2x-2 into the form Ax+By=C

Answer 12

Ok Can You Help .

Answer 13

first multiply every term by 2 to clear out that fraction

Answer 14

1/2 * 2 =1

Answer 15

2 x 2 =4

Answer 16

doing that will turn y=1/2x-2 into 2y = x - 4

Answer 17

now move the x over

Answer 18

Subtract 2 From Both Sides

Answer 19

you need to get the variable terms to one side

Answer 20

So We Dont Subtract 2 from both sides

Answer 21

more like subtract x from both sides

Answer 22

2X?

Answer 23

OH NVM I GET WHAT YOUR SAYING X FROM BOTH SIDES SO 1 FROM BOTH SIDES

Answer 24

so we now have

-x+2y = -4

that's technically in standard form where
A = -1, B = 2, C = -4

but most books I've seen make A > 0. Multiply both sides by -1 to get x - 2y = 4

Answer 25

OH

Answer 26

jim ty b/c i don't know what im doing sorry :(

Answer 27

So My End Result Should Of Been X-2Y=4

Answer 28

yeah I'd go with x-2y = 4

Answer 29

Ok What About the second problem ?

Answer 30

same idea: get all of the variable terms to one side

Answer 31

you don't have to worry about fractions this time

Answer 32

lord i be confusing myself
z

Answer 33

-7 wll be a corect ?

Answer 34

how do you move that -7x over? what must you do to both sides?

Answer 35

subtract 7

Answer 36

no
