Example Questions

Example Question #2 : Standard Form

Write the following equation in standard form:

y=-3x+2

Possible Answers:

3x+y-2=0

$x=-\frac{1}{3}y+\frac{2}{3}$

y=-3x+2

3x+y=2

Correct answer:

3x+y=2

Explanation:

Standard form of an equation is

Ax+By=C .

Rearrange the given equation to make it look like the above equation as follows:

y=-3x+2

y+3x=-3x+3x+2

y+3x=2

3x+y=2

Example Question #3 : Standard Form

Rewrite the following equation in standard form.

2+4y=3x+10

Possible Answers:

$x=\frac{4}{3}y-\frac{8}{3}$

3x-4y=-8

4y=3x+8

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+2$

6y=13x

Correct answer:

3x-4y=-8

Explanation:

The standard form of a line is Ax+By=C , where $A, B, \textup{and}\textup{ } C$ are integers.

We therefore need to rewrite 2+4y=3x+10 so it looks like Ax+By=C .

The steps to do this are below:

$2+4y=3x+10 \textup{ (subtract 10 from both sides)}$

$-8 +4y=3x\textup{ (subtract 4y from both sides)}$

$-8=3x-4y\ (\textup{flip the two sides of the equality})$

3x-4y=-8

Report an Error

Example Question #5 : Standard Form

Rewrite the equation in standard form: y=3x+8

Possible Answers:

-3x+y =8

-3x-y =8

3x+y =8

-3x+y =-8

$\textup{The equation is already in standard form.}$

Correct answer:

-3x+y =8

Explanation:

To rewrite in standard form, we will need the equation in the form of:

Ax+By =C

Subtract on both sides.

y-3x=3x+8-3x

Regroup the variables on the left, and simplify the right.

The answer is: -3x+y =8

Example Question #6 : Standard Form

Rewrite the equation in standard form.

y-2=3(x+6)

Possible Answers:

3x+y = 16

-3x+y = 16

-3x+y = -20

-3x+y = 20

3x-y = 16

Correct answer:

-3x+y = 20

Explanation:

The given equation is in point-slope form.

The standard form is: Ax+By = C

Distribute the right side.

y-2=3x+18

Subtract on both sides.

y-2-3x=3x+18-3x

-3x+y-2 = 18

Add 2 on both sides.

-3x+y-2+2 = 18+2

The answer is: -3x+y = 20

Example Question #7 : Standard Form

Rewrite the equation in standard form: 3+y-9x=4

Possible Answers:

9x-y = -1

9x-y = 7

9x-y = -7

-9x-y = 7

9x-7y = -1

Correct answer:

9x-y = -1

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is: Ax+By =C

Reorganize the terms.

Add on both sides.

3+y-9x+(9x)=4+(9x)

3+y= 4+9x

Subtract on both sides.

3+y-y= 4+9x-y

3= 4+9x-y

Subtract four on both sides.

3-4= 4+9x-y-4

The answer is: 9x-y = -1

Example Question #1 : Standard Form

Given the slope of a line is and a point is (4,-3) , write the equation in standard form.

Possible Answers:

-2x+y = -11

-2x+y = -22

2x-2y = -11

-2x+3y = -11

2x-y = -11

Correct answer:

-2x+y = -11

Explanation:

Write the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

y=mx+b

Substitute the point and the slope.

-3 = (2)(4)+b

Solve for the y-intercept, and then write the equation of the line.

-3 = 8+b

-3-8 = 8+b-8

b=-11

y=2x-11

The equation in standard form is: Ax+By =C

Subtract from both sides.

y-2x=2x-11-2x

The answer is: -2x+y = -11

Example Question #1 : Standard Form

Which of the following is NOT in standard form?

Possible Answers:

y=5x^2-3x+5

$\textup{All equations are represented in standard form.}$

-19x+y = 3

y-2=3(x+9)

15x-y=15

Correct answer:

y-2=3(x+9)

Explanation:

The equation in standard form of a linear equation is:

Ax+By =C

The equation in standard form of a parabolic equation is:

y= Ax^2+Bx+C

All of the following equations are in standard form except:

y-2=3(x+9)

This equation is in point-slope format: y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)

The answer is: y-2=3(x+9)

Report an Error

Example Question #5 : Standard Form

Write the following equation in standard form.

y-2 = 3(x-3)

Possible Answers:

3x+2y =8

x-3y = -7

3x-y = -11

3x-y = -7

-3x+y = -7

Correct answer:

-3x+y = -7

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is: Ax+By =C

Distribute the right side.

y-2 = 3x-9

Subtract on both sides.

y-2 -(3x)= 3x-9-(3x)

-3x+y-2 = -9

Add 2 on both sides.

-3x+y-2+2 = -9+2

The answer is: -3x+y = -7

Example Question #51 : Linear Algebra

Determine the equation in standard form: 3x-6y = 14

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{3}$

$y+\frac{14}{3} = \frac{1}{2}(x)$

$\textup{No changes are needed.}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{7}{3}$

$y-\frac{14}{3} = \frac{1}{2}(x)$

Correct answer:

$\textup{No changes are needed.}$

Explanation:

The equation in standard form is defined as Ax+By =C .

The given equation is already in standard form and does not require any change to the variables.

Do not put this equation in point-slope, or the slope-intercept form.

The answer is: $\textup{No changes are needed.}$

Example Question #221 : Algebra

Write the equation in standard form: y=-2x-5

Possible Answers:

-2x+y = -5

2x-y = 5

2x-2y = 5

2x+y = -5

2x-y = -5

Correct answer:

2x+y = -5

Explanation:

The standard form of a line is defined as: Ax+By=C

Add on both sides.

y+2x=-2x-5+2x

Rearrange the terms.

The answer is: 2x+y = -5
