Write the equation in standard form using integers.
y+1=4/5(x+3)
To write the equation in standard form, we begin by distributing the 4/5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
y + 1 = (4/5)(x) + (4/5)(3)
This simplifies to:
y + 1 = (4/5)x + 12/5
Next, we want to eliminate the fractions. We can achieve this by multiplying the entire equation by 5:
5(y + 1) = 5((4/5)x + 12/5)
This gives us:
5y + 5 = 4x + 12
Finally, we can rearrange the equation in standard form by moving all terms to one side:
4x - 5y = -7
