What is y=-8x+5 in standard form

Answer 1

Hello Nae,

The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax+By=C.

According to which, variables 'x' and 'y' both should be on the LHS of the equation whereas the constant should be on the RHS. This can be done by adding '8x' to both sides of the equation.

We will have: + 8x + y = + 8x - 8x + 5

8x + y = 5

Happy to help :)

Answer 2

Hi Nae,

The standard form of linear equations is Ax+By=C.

In this equation, y and x should be on one side of the equation and the constant integer of 5 on the other side. If we add =8x to both sides of the equation we will have:

+8x+y=+8x-8x+5 which leads us to 8x+y=5.

Hope it helps!
