What is y-4=-2(x-3) in standard form

Answer 1

Standard form for an equation is:

ax+by=c -- where a,b, and c are all constants

1) distribute the -2 to get:

y-4=-2x+6

2) add '2x' to both sides to get:

y-4+2x=6

3) add four to both sides

y+2x=6+4

simplify

y+2x=10

and we have the equation in standard form
