Question

Y = 1/2x -8 written in standard form

Answer 1

x - 2y = 16

Explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Given

y =
`(1)/(2)` x - 8

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2y = x - 16 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y - 16 ( add 16 to both sides )

16 = x - 2y, that is

x - 2y = 16 ← in standard form
