Question

How would I change this to standard form. id="TexFormula1" title="y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1" alt="y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

Answer:

x - 2y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and A, B are integers )

given y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 1

multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction

2y = x - 2 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

x - 2y = 2 ← in standard form
