Question

Write the equation in standard form using integers.
y= -2/3x - 5

Answer 1

First of all, standard form is
Ax + By = C

Answer 2

Rearrange the equation by adding -2/3x to both sides. You would get\[\large \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x +y = -5\]

Answer 3

Now, in order to get the equation into integers, multiply by 3 to ALL terms, and that will cancel the fraction out :)

Answer 4

Wait I don't get the last part ?? @steve816

Answer 5

SImply multiply everything by 3!

Answer 6

okay so 2/3 * 3 = 2 and -5 * 3= -15 is that it?? @steve816

Answer 7

and it'd look like 2x + y = -15 ??

Answer 8

@triciaal

Answer 9

It would be 2x + 3y = -15
