Question

How do you write `y=2x+1` in standard form?

Answer 1

The standard form of a linear equation is `ax + by = c`

We can transpose `2x` to the left hand side to get

`y - 2x = 1`

`-> -2x + y = 1`

Multiplying both sides with `-1` gives us

`color(green)(2x - y = -1` is the Standard form of `y=2x+1`
