Question

Write y= -3/4x - 6 in standard form using integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The standard form is  $3x+4y=-24$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation can be written as

$ax+by=c$

The given equation is

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x-6$

This equation is in the slope-intercept form.

To rewrite this in standard form, we must multiply through by the least common multiple which is 4.

$4y=-3x-24$

We now add $3x$ to both sides of the equation to obtain,

$4y+3x=-3x+3x-24$

This simplifies to

$4y+3x=0-24$

Hence the standard form is

$3x+4y=-24$

The correct answer is A
