How do you write #y=-3/5x + 10# in standard form?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

#5y+3x=50#

multiply everything by #5# to get rid of fraction: #5y=-3x+50# add #3x# over #5y+3x=50#

To write the equation ( y = -\frac{3}{5}x + 10 ) in standard form, you multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction, then rearrange the terms to bring all the variables to one side and the constants to the other side.

Steps:

Multiply both sides by 5: ( 5y = -3x + 50 )
Add ( 3x ) to both sides: ( 3x + 5y = 50 )

The equation ( 3x + 5y = 50 ) is in standard form.
