Question

How do you write `y = -4x+5` in standard form?

Answer 1

`4x+y=5`

Explanation:

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.

`"Rearrange " y=-4x+5" into this form"`

add 4x to both sides.

`4x+y=cancel(-4x)cancel(+4x)+5`

`rArr4x+y=5larr" in standard form"`
