Question

Hello could you please help me with this problem? Write the standard form of the equation y+4=-12/7(x-1).

Answer 1

Given:

`y+4=-(12)/(7)\mleft(x-1\mright)`

express the equation in standard form,

`\begin{gathered} y+4=-(12)/(7)(x-1) \\ 7(y+4)=-12(x-1) \\ 7y+28=-12x+12 \\ 7y+12x=12-28 \\ 12x+7y=-16 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`12x+7y=-16`
