Standard form for a linear equation is:
ax + by = c
y = (5/4)x - 1/2
To put in standard form all one has to do
is subtract (5/4)x from both sides.
(-5/4)x + y = -1/2
If you wish to eliminate the fractions then
multiply through by 4.
4[(-5/4)x + y] = 4(-1/2)
-5x + 4y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C A x + B y = C . Multiply both sides by 4 4 .
