Question

Can someone explain to me how to do this problem please?

Answer 1

Slope intercept form
y = mx + b

change it to standard form
ax +by = c

y = -1.7x + 8.5
1.7x + y = 8.5 

multiply 10 on both side

17x + 10y = 85

hope this help

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.7x+y=8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the given line in standard form

Standard form of the equation is Ax+By=C

$y=-1.7x+8.5$

To get standard form we move x terms to the left hand side

Add 1.7x on both sides

$y+1.7x=8.5$

The standard form of the equation is

$1.7x+y=8.5$
