Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=8x+5Hint: 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+5Hint: 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 & Standard Form: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.The given equation is y=8x+5, 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 x-term to Left: Move the term 8x from the right side of the equation to the left side to get the x-term and the y-term on the same side.To do this, we subtract 8x from both sides of the equation:y−8x=8x+5−8xThis simplifies to:−y+8x=5
Multiply by −1: Multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the coefficient of x positive, as is customary in standard form.−1(−y+8x)=−1(5)This simplifies to:y−8x=−5
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, so we write: −8x+y=−5
Check Coefficients for GCF: Check if the coefficients have a GCF other than 1. The coefficients are −8, 1, and −5. The GCF of these numbers is 1.
Make Coefficient of x Positive: Since the GCF is 1 and the coefficient of x is negative, we multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the coefficient of x positive.−1(−8x+y)=−1(−5)This simplifies to:8x−y=5
