how do i turn this equation into standard form: y=7/2x+1/2

Question

i cant figure it out.

Answer 1

Standard form means that we have the x and y terms on one side of the equation.  The constant terms are on the other side.  It will look like this:

 

Ax + By = C

 

 

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

 

2y = 7x + 1

 

 

Subtract 7x on both sides of the equation.

 

-7x + 2y = 1
