Write the standard form of the equation of each line

Question

y+1 = -1/4(x+1)

Answer 1

The Standard form of equation of a straight line is Ax + By = 1 where A, B and  C are integers.

 

To get there, multiply both sides by 4 ("clearing fractions").

You get 4y + 4 = -x -1

 

Shortly thereafter you get x + 4y = -5
