How do you write \(y=-\frac{1}{3} x-9\) in standard form?
Answer 1:
1x + 3y = −27
Explanation:
The standard form of a linear equation is: Ax + By = C
Where, if at all possible, A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1 To transform this equation to standard form, first, multiply each side of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fractions:
Next, add 1x to each side of the equation to place the x and y variables on the left side of the equation as the standard form requires:
\(1 x+3 y=1 x-1 x-27\)
\(1 x+3 y=0-27\)
\(1 x+3 y=-27\)
