Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=5x+2Hint: 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=5x+2Hint: 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.
Given Equation: Start with the given equation.y=5x+2We need to rearrange this equation into the standard form, which is Ax+By=C.
Rearrange Equation: Move the term 5x to the left side of the equation by subtracting 5x from both sides.y−5x=5x+2−5xThis simplifies to:−5x+y=2
Make Coefficient Positive: The standard form of a linear equation should have the x-term first, followed by the y-term, and then the constant. However, the coefficient of x should be positive. Multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the coefficient of x positive.−1(−5x+y)=−1(2)This simplifies to:5x−y=−2
Check Coefficients: To ensure that the coefficients are integers whose greatest common factor (GCF) is 1, we check the coefficients 5, −1, and the constant −2. The GCF of these numbers is indeed 1.
