>>> y=2x+1

Question

 convert the following linear equations from y-intercept form to standard form.

Answer 1

Standard form is ax + by = c.    Carry 2x to the other side of the equation and change its sign, -2x.   

                                           a)  -2x + y = 1

Then to get rid of the negative, you must multiply the left equation by negative 1,   - ( -2x + y = 1)

                                           b)  2x + (- y) = -1

b) is your solution
