Question

can anyone explain this question please - What is the standard form of the following equation? y+3=1/4x Use integers for A, B, and C.

Answer 1

standard form is
ax+by=c
where a,b,c are integers

y+3=1/4x
timesboth sides by 4
4y+12=x
minus x both sides
-x+4y+12=0
minus 12 both sides
-x+4y=-12
(I like x to be positive so)
times both sides by -1
1x-4y=12
a=1
b=-4
c=12
