What is y=-2/7x-1 in standard form?

see my previous reply, in this case multiply each term by 7, then go from there

To rewrite the equation y = -2/7x - 1 in standard form, we need to get rid of the fraction and rearrange the terms.

The standard form of a linear equation is given by Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and A should be positive.

To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply the entire equation by a common denominator, which in this case is 7.

Multiplying each term by 7, we have:

7y = (-2/7)(7x) - 1(7)

Simplifying further, we get:

7y = -2x - 7

Now, let's rearrange the equation to match the standard form:

2x + 7y = -7

Therefore, the equivalent form of the equation y = -2/7x - 1 in standard form is 2x + 7y = -7.
