Question

How do you write `y =-2/5x+1/10` in standard form?

Answer 1

`color(blue)(4x+10y=10)`

Explanation:

Standard linear form is
`color(white)("XXX")Ax+By=C` with `A,B,C in ZZ` and `A>=0`

Given
`color(white)("XXX")y=-2/5x+1/10`

Multiply both sides by `10`
`color(white)("XXX")10y=-4x+1`

Add `4x` to both sides
`color(white)("XXX")4x+10y=1`
