Q. What is y+4=−6(x+6) written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=−6x−40(B) 6x+y=−40(C) 6x+y=2(D) y=−6x+2
Rephrasing the equation: First, let's rephrase the "What is the equation y+4=−6(x+6) written in standard form?"
Distributing the −6: Now, let's distribute the −6 across the (x+6) in the equation y+4=−6(x+6).y+4=−6×x−6×6y+4=−6x−36
Isolating y on one side: Next, we need to subtract 4 from both sides to isolate y on one side.y+4−4=−6x−36−4y=−6x−40
Converting to standard form: The equation y=−6x−40 is in slope-intercept form. To write it in standard form, we need to rearrange it so that all terms are on one side and the x term is positive.Add 6x to both sides:6x+y=−40
Final equation in standard form: The equation 6x+y=−40 is now in standard form with the x term positive, which matches answer choice (B).
