Write y = 1/2x - 8 in standard form. The standard form is Ax + By = C

Answer 1

y= x/2 -8. multiply by 2

2y =x -16 subtract x from both sides

-x +2y =-16 probably multiply by -1 to get, it looks "cleaner" with one less

negative sign

x -2y = 16 A=1, B=-2, C=16

(IF you wanted to be very picky, hyper-technical, the way you wrote the equation as

y=1/2x -8, it reads y=1/(2x) - 8, which can't be rewritten in a standard form like Ax+By = C. But it's fairly obvious you intended to write y=(1/2)x-8. Still, if you follow PEMDAS order of operations, that's not how you wrote it)
