Question

Write an equation of the line in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok to make this easier for us we should switch these equations into y=mx+b so that it's easier for us to identify the slope and y-intercept:

to switch into y=mx+b form do this:

3x-y=5

-y=5-3x

y=-5+3x

y=3x+(-5)

2y-15x=8

2y=8+15x

y=4+7 1/2x

y=7 1/2x+4

THe slope of any line in y=mx+b form is m. Therefore in this equation:

y=3x+(-5)     3 is the slope

The y intercept of any line is the +b:

y=7 1/2x+4 -therefore 4 in this equation is our y intercept.

Now we can construct our equation in y=mx+b then into standard form (Ax+By=C)

since 3 is our slope and 4 is our y intercept the equatuon is :

y=3x+4

NOw all we need to do is move this into standard form:

y=3x+4

-3x+y=4

-3x+y=4 is your final answer

-hope this helped
