Question Rewrite the equation $y=3x-7$ in standard form.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is $y =3x -7$ . We need to convert this equation into standard form3. The standard form of a linear equation is $Ax + By = C$ , where $A$ , $B$ , and $C$ are integers, and $A$ and $B$ are not both zero

STEP 2

To convert the equation into standard form, we need to move the $x$ term to the left side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting $x$ from both sides of the equation.
$-x + y = -7$

STEP 3

The standard form of a linear equation should not have negative coefficients for the $x$ term. Therefore, we multiply the entire equation by $-1$ to make the coefficient of $x$ positive.
$3x - y =7$ This is the equation in standard form.
