Question

How do you write `y = -3/4x - 1/2` in standard form?

Answer 1

The standard form of a linear equation is (normally)
`Ax+By=C` with `A>=0 and AepsilonZZ`

Given `y = -3/4x-1/2`

Multiply by `4` to express in all integers (`espilonZZ`)
`4y = -3x -2`

Add `3x` to both sides
`3x+4y = -2` (standard form)
