Answer:
x - 8y = - 56
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Given
y = x + 7
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction
8y = x + 56 ( subtract 8y from both sides )
0 = x - 8y + 56 ( subtract 56 from both sides )
- 56 = x - 8y, that is
x - 8y = - 56 ← in standard form
