Question

How do you write `y = 3x + 8` in standard form?

Answer 1

`3x-y=-8`

Explanation:

General "standard form" for a linear equation is
`color(white)("XXX")Ax+By=C` with `A>=0`

`y=3x+8`

`rarr -3x+y=8`

`rarr 3x-y=-8color(white)("XX")` (or`color(white)("XX") 3x+(-1)y=-8`)

Note the given form is `underline("standard slope-intercept form")`
