Question

Write y = – two-thirds x + 7 in standard form using integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The standard form of y = $-\frac{2}{3}$ x + 7 is 2x + 3y = 21 ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the linear equation is ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are integers

∵ y = $-\frac{2}{3}$ x + 7

→ Multiply each term by 3 to cancel the denominator

∴ 3(y) = 3( $-\frac{2}{3}$) x + 3(7)

∴ 3y = -2x + 21

→ Add 2x to both sides to move x from the right side to the left side

∵ 2x + 3y = -2x + 2x + 21

∴ 2x + 3y = 21

∴ The standard form of y = $-\frac{2}{3}$ x + 7 is 2x + 3y = 21
