what is y= -3/4 x-6 in standard form with integers?
How do i do that? thats the problom, i forget how to, and my algebra textbook isnt helping
4y = -3x-24 is the answer from oobleck. Standard form is
Ax + By = C or
3x + 4y = -24
oh ok thanks!
so, you really sure your textbook didn't explain how to rearrange terms? DrBob222 didn't do much explaining, so if you got it from his two lines, I'm sure your could have gotten it from your book...
What counts is "Does he get it"?
To convert the equation y = -3/4x - 6 into standard form with integers, we'll need to eliminate the fraction and rearrange the equation so that the variables and the constant term are all integers.
Step 1: Multiply through by the denominator of the fraction, which is 4, to get rid of the fraction. This results in:
4y = -3x - 24
Step 2: Bring the x-term to the left side by adding 3x to both sides:
3x + 4y = -24
Step 3: Rearrange the equation in standard form, which means the x-coefficient (the coefficient of x) should be positive and the variables and constant term should be integers. To achieve this, we multiply both sides of the equation by -1:
-3x - 4y = 24
So, the equation y = -3/4x - 6 in standard form with integers is -3x - 4y = 24.
multiply by 4 to get
4y = -3x-24
Now just rearrange to standard form.
