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

1 Answer

#color(red)(2)x - color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(0)#

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is: #color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)#

where, if at all possible, #color(red)(A)#, #color(blue)(B)#, and #color(green)(C)#are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

We can transform the equation in the problem to standard form as follows:

#-color(red)(2x) + y = -color(red)(2x) + 2x#

#-2x + y = 0#

#color(red)(-1)(-2x + y) = color(red)(-1) xx 0#

#2x - y = 0#

#color(red)(2)x - color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(0)#
