Question

Write y =1/8 x + 7 In standard form using integers

Answer 1

The equation is  y = 1/8x + 7

Standard form equation is Ax + By = C,  where A > = 0.

First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the equation by 8

8y = x + 56

Subtract x from each side

-x + 8y = 56

SInce x coeficient can't be negative multiply the equation by negative one.

x - 8y = -56
