Question

How do you write y=25x-56 in standard form?

Answer 1

To put a slope-intercept into standard form, you have to first cancel out the fractions. So:
$y = \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6}$

Turns into:
$(5)(6)y = (\frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6})(5)(6)$

Simplify:
$30y = (\frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6})(30)$

Distribute:
$30y = 12x- 25$

Since you want to get x and y on the same side, you subtract 12x from both sides to get:
$-12x+30y = -25$

So, your answer is C. Hope this all made sense! If it doesn't you know where to get a hold of me, so just dm me. Or if you more problems.
