Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=8x+10Hint: 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=8x+10Hint: 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=8x+10We need to rearrange this equation into the standard form, which is Ax+By=C.
Move x Term: Move the term with x to the left side of the equation.To do this, we subtract 8x from both sides of the equation.y−8x=8x+10−8xThis simplifies to:y−8x=10
Rearrange Standard Form: 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: −8x+y=10
Check Coefficients: Check if the coefficients are integers and their greatest common factor (GCF) is 1. The coefficients are −8, 1, and 10. The GCF of these numbers is 1.
Ensure Positive Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of x is positive.In standard form, it is customary to have the coefficient of x be positive. If it's negative, we can multiply the entire equation by −1 to make it positive.−1(−8x+y)=−1(10)This simplifies to:8x−y=−10
