Q. What is y−2=−3(x−7) written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=−3x+23(B) 3x+y=23(C) y−2=−3x+21(D) 3x+y−23=0
Distribute the −3: Distribute the −3 across the parentheses in the equation y−2=−3(x−7).y−2=−3×x+3×7y−2=−3x+21
Add 2 to both sides: Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate y on one side.y - 2 + 2 = −3x + 21 + 2y = −3x + 23
Move x-term to left side: To write the equation in standard form, Ax+By=C, we need to move the x-term to the left side of the equation.Add 3x to both sides of the equation.3x+y=3x−3x+233x+y=23
Check standard form: Check if the equation is in standard form, which requires A, B, and C to be integers, and A should be non-negative.The equation 3x+y=23 satisfies these conditions, so it is in standard form.
