Q. What is y=32x+4 written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) y−32x−4=0(B) −2x+3y=12(C) 3y=2x+12(D) y=32(x+6)
Understanding the goal: Understand the goal.We need to rewrite the equation y=32x+4 in standard form. The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.
Eliminating the fraction: Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction.3y=3×(32x+4)This gives us 3y=2x+12.
Rearranging the equation: Rearrange the equation to get all terms involving variables on one side and constants on the other.To do this, we subtract 2x from both sides to get:−2x+3y=12
Checking the coefficient of : Check if the coefficient of is non-negative.In standard form, the coefficient of should be non-negative. Since is negative, we multiply the entire equation by −1-1−1 to make it positive.\newlineThis gives us:\newline222x - 333y = −12-12−12
Matching the standard form: Rearrange the terms to match the standard form Ax+By=CAx + By = CAx+By=C.\newlineThe equation 2x−3y=−122x - 3y = -122x−3y=−12 is already in the correct form, but to match the standard form convention, we should write it as:\newline2x−3y=−122x - 3y = -122x−3y=−12
