Q. Rewrite the following equation in standard form.\newliney=5x+6y = 5x + 6\newlineHint: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=CAx + By = C where AA and BB are not both zero, and AA, BB, and CC are integers whose GCF is 11.
  1. Identify Equation & Requirement: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.\newlineThe given equation is y=5x+6y = 5x + 6, and we need to rewrite it in the standard form Ax+By=CAx + By = C, where AA, BB, and CC are integers with a greatest common factor (GCF) of 11, and AA should be non-negative.
  2. Rearrange Equation: Rearrange the equation to get terms involving xx and yy on one side and the constant on the other side.\newlineTo do this, we will subtract 5x5x from both sides of the equation to move the xx term to the left side.\newliney5x=6y - 5x = 6\newlineHowever, the standard form requires the xx term to be positive, so we will multiply the entire equation by 1-1 to get the xx term positive.\newline1(y5x)=1(6)-1(y - 5x) = -1(6)\newline1×y+5x×1=6-1 \times y + 5x \times -1 = -6\newlineyy00\newlineyy11
  3. Correct Sign & Rearrange: Correct the sign of the xx term and rearrange the terms to match the standard form.\newlineWe will write the xx term first, followed by the yy term, and then the constant.\newline5xy=65x - y = -6
  4. Check Coefficients GCF: Check if the coefficients have a GCF other than 11. The coefficients of xx and yy are 55 and 1-1, respectively. The GCF of 55 and 11 is 11, so we do not need to divide the equation by any number to reduce the coefficients.
  5. Ensure Positive Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of xx is positive.\newlineThe coefficient of xx is already positive, so we do not need to make any changes here.
