Write the equation in standard form.

8−5y=−2x

Question

Write the equation in standard form.

8−5y=−2x

anonymous · Answer

-5y=-2x-8
divide by -5 on each side to isolate y
y=2/5x+8/5

triciaal · Answer

standard form 
Ax + By = C

anonymous · Answer

first find x

calculusxy · Answer

standard form: $ax + by = c$ 

in the equation $8 - 5y = -2x$ you have the $by$ and the $c$ terms on one side, but you have the $ax$ on the other side of the equal sign. you need to move them so that the equation looks like $ax + by = c$

triciaal · Answer

@mtran1  that is correct for the slope-intercept form   y = m x + b

calculusxy · Answer

@mtran1 there is a difference between the slope intercept form ($y = mx + b$) and the standard form ($ax + by = c$)

anonymous · Answer

you all are to solve for x and y not finding the slope formular

annidix2 · Answer

i tryed y=2/5x+8/5 but it said it was rong

triciaal · Answer

it is wrong because that is the slope-intercept form and the question asked for standard form

triciaal · Answer

again, also expressed by @calculusxy  the standard form is 
Ax + By = C
rearrange the original to match this format and you will get it right

triciaal · Answer

@Daniel56k  you cannot solve a linear equation with 2 unknowns
