Question

What is the standard for of this equation?

3y – 7 = –5x

Answer 1

Standard form is:

\(\sf y = mx + b\)

So first, add 7 to both sides, can you do that?

Answer 2

Yes one sec

Answer 3

So would you have 3y=-5x+7

Answer 4

standard form any linear equation in two variables x and y is
ax+by+c=0

Answer 5

So would the answer be C

Answer 6

@iGreen, So the answer is C?

Answer 7

You didn't give options.

Answer 8

Now we have to divide 3 to both sides.

Answer 9

Oh, that's right..I got mixed up..standard form is \(\sf Ax + By = C\)

Answer 10

oh wait sorry my bad
A.
5x + 3y = 7

B.
3y – 7 = –5x

C.
3y = –5x + 7

D.
5x + 3y – 7 = 0

Answer 11

So we actually have to add 5x to both sides now.

Answer 12

\(\sf 3y = -5x + 7\)

Add 5x to both sides.

Answer 13

So then 3y+5x=7 ?

Answer 14

Which would make it A, because 3y+5x is the same as 5x+3y right?

Answer 15

Yep, you got it!

Answer 16

Thank you!
