Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=7x+6Hint: 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=7x+6Hint: 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 and Standard Form: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.The given equation is y=7x−6, 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 Involving x: Move the term involving x to the left side of the equation.To do this, we subtract 7x from both sides of the equation.y−7x=−6This is not the standard form yet because the terms are not in the correct order.
Rearrange Terms to Match: Rearrange the terms to match the standard form Ax+By=C. We want the x term first, followed by the y term, equal to the constant. −7x+y=−6
Ensure Non-Negative Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of x is non-negative.If we multiply the entire equation by −1, we will get the coefficient of x to be positive, which is a common convention for standard form.7x−y=6Now the equation is in standard form with A=7, B=−1, and C=6.
