Question

Determine whether y = 2x - 3 is a linear equation. If so, write the equation in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, it's a linear equation. The standard form is 2x - y = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 2x - 3 is in slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form applies to linear equations/functions.

To convert slope-intercept into standard:

1. Subtract 2x from both sides.

• $y - 2x = 2x -3-2x$
• $-2x + y =-3$  

2. Multiply everything by -1.

• $-2x*-1+y*-1=-3*-1$  
• $2x-y=3$

Answer 2

Answer:

yes, y=2x-3 is linear

2x - y = 3  Standard Form

Step-by-step explanation:

since both the 'x' and 'y' variables have one as their exponents then this represents a linear equation

standard form: Ax + By = C

y = 2x - 3

subtract 2x from each side to get:

-2x + y = -3

divide each term by -1 to get (this is done so the leading coefficient is not negative)

2x - y = 3  Standard Form
