Question

write y = 1/2x +3 in standard form - show all work

Answer 1

Hi Michelle,

Standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are all integers (whole numbers or their opposites)

So, y = 1/2x + 3 We want the x term and the y term both on the same side of the equation.

-1/2x + y = 3 If we add -1/2x to both sides

-x + 2y = 6 If we multiply all terms by 2

All done. Enjoy
