Write the equation in standard form using integers.
y+1= 2/5 (x+3)
To rewrite the equation in standard form using integers, we need to eliminate the fraction.
First, distribute the 2/5 to both the x and the 3:
y + 1 = 2/5(x) + 2/5(3)
Simplifying, we get:
y + 1 = 2/5x + 6/5
To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply every term in the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the LCM of 5 and 1 is simply 5:
5(y + 1) = 5(2/5x + 6/5)
This simplifies to:
5y + 5 = 2x + 6
Now let's move the x term to the left side:
2x - 5y = -1
Thus, the equation in standard form using integers is 2x - 5y = -1.
