Question

Y+9=-3(x-2) standard form

Answer 1

Hello!

"Standard form" looks like Ax + By = C.

Start by carrying out the indicated multiplication:

y + 9=-3(x-2) becomes y + 9 = -3x + 6

We want to group the x and y terms on the left and the constants on the right.  Achieve this by adding 3x to both sides, obtaining:  3x + y + 9 = 6.  Next, subtract 9 from both sides:  3x + y = -3.

The given equation, in standard form, is 3x + y = -3.
