#18x-2y=-1#

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"standard form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(Ax+By=C)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers"#

#"given "y=9x+1/2#

#"multiply all terms by 2"#

#2y=18x+1#

#"subtract "2y" from both sides"#

#0=18x-2y+1#

#"subtract 1 from both sides"#

#18x-2y=-1larrcolor(red)"in standard form"#
