Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=2x+4Hint: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C where A and B are not both zero, and A, B, and C are integers whose GCF is 1.
Q. Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=2x+4Hint: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C where A and B are not both zero, and A, B, and C are integers whose GCF is 1.
Identify Equation: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.The given equation is y=2x−4, and we need to rewrite it in the standard form Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are integers with a greatest common factor (GCF) of 1, and A should be non-negative.
Move Term: Move the term involving x to the other side of the equation to isolate the constant term.To do this, we subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.y−2x=−4
Rearrange Terms: Rearrange the terms to match the standard form Ax+By=C. We want the x term to come before the y term, so we write the equation as: −2x+y=−4
Ensure Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of x is non-negative.Since the standard form requires A to be non-negative, we multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the coefficient of x positive.2x−y=4
