Q. What is y=−103x−8 written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) 10x−3y=−80(B) 10x+3y=−80(C) 3x+10y=−80(D) −3x+10y=−80
Understand the goal: Understand the goal.We need to rewrite the equation y=−(103)x−8 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.
Multiply by 10: Multiply both sides of the equation by 10 to eliminate the fraction.10⋅y=10⋅(−(103)x−8)This gives us:10y=−3x−80
Move term with x: Move the term with x to the left side of the equation.To do this, we add 3x to both sides of the equation:3x+10y=−80
Check coefficients: Check the coefficients to ensure they are integers and that the coefficient of x is non-negative.The coefficients are 3, 10, and −80, which are all integers, and the coefficient of x is positive, which is acceptable in standard form.
