Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=6x+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=6x+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.
Identify Equation: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.The given equation is y=6x+2. 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 on one side.To do this, we subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:y−6x=6x+2−6xThis simplifies to:y−6x=2
Rearrange for Standard Form: Rearrange the terms to match the standard form Ax+By=C. We want the x term first, followed by the y term, equaling the constant: −6x+y=2
Ensure Non-Negative Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of x is non-negative.If we multiply the entire equation by −1, we get:6x−y=−2However, this step is not necessary because the standard form does not require A to be positive, only non-negative. Therefore, we can leave the equation as −6x+y=2.
Check GCF: Check if the coefficients have a GCF other than 1. The coefficients are −6, 1, and 2. The GCF of these numbers is 1.
