How do you write an equation in standard form?
Ex.How would you write this in standard
form?
y+1=x+2
I think it just means writ your equation as y= whatever...In your case it would be y=x+2-1
y=x+1
well i think that is called the y-intercept form
To write an equation in standard form, you want to rewrite it as Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers and A is positive.
Let's take the equation y + 1 = x + 2 as an example and convert it to standard form:
Step 1: Simplify the equation.
To simplify, let's move the x term to the left side: x - y = 1 - 2.
Step 2: Arrange the terms.
To arrange the terms in standard form, we want the x term to come first, followed by the y term.
x - y = -1
Step 3: Make sure the coefficients are integers.
In standard form, the coefficients (the numbers multiplied by x and y) should be integers. In this equation, they already are.
Step 4: Make sure the coefficient of the x term is positive.
We want the coefficient of x to be positive, so let's multiply the entire equation by -1:
-x + y = 1
Now the equation y + 1 = x + 2 is written in standard form as -x + y = 1.
