Q. What is y−10=9(x+8) written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=9x+82(B) −9x+y=82(C) y=9x+18(D) −9x+y=18
Distribute 9 to terms: To write the equation in standard form, we need to have the x and y terms on the same side and the constant on the other side. The standard form is Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.
Add 10 to both sides: First, distribute the 9 to both terms inside the parentheses: y−10=9x+72.
Combine like terms: Next, add 10 to both sides to get the y term by itself: y=9x+72+10.
Move x term: Combine like terms on the right side: y=9x+82.
Check coefficient: Now, to get it into standard form, we need to move the x term to the same side as the y term. Subtract 9x from both sides: −9x+y=82.
Finalize standard form: Check if the coefficient of x is non-negative. Since it is negative, we can multiply the entire equation by −1 to make it positive, but this is not necessary as standard form can also have a negative coefficient for x if it leads to a simpler form. In this case, we will leave it as is because the answer choices allow for a negative coefficient.
