#y-x=1# is in the form #ax+by=c#

Explanation:

When an equation is in standard form, all of the variable terms will be on one side, and all of the constant terms (numbers) will be on the other side.

#y+1= x+2#

  • Subtract 1 from both sides

#=>y=x+1#

  • Subtract x from both sides

#=>y-x=1#

#y-x=1# is in the form #ax+by=c#, where #a#, #b# and #c# are constants/integers.
