How do you write #y=2x-3# in standard form?

Answer 1

#-2x+y+3=0#

Standard form of the line equation is #Ax+By+C=0# so to transform an equation to a standard form you have to move everything to left side and leave only zero on the right side.

To write ( y = 2x - 3 ) in standard form, move all terms to one side of the equation and ensure that the coefficients of ( x ) and ( y ) are integers. The standard form of a linear equation is ( Ax + By = C ), where ( A ), ( B ), and ( C ) are integers, and ( A ) is positive. Thus, for ( y = 2x - 3 ), we need to rewrite it in the form ( Ax + By = C ). By moving the ( 2x ) term to the left side, we get ( -2x + y = -3 ). So, the equation ( y = 2x - 3 ) in standard form is ( -2x + y = -3 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
