Question

Write y = x + 7 in standard form using integers

Answer 1

x-y = -7

Explanation:

Ax + By = C is the standard form for a line where A is a positive number

y = x + 7

Subtract x from each side

-x+y = x+7-x

-x+y = 7

Multiply each side by -1

x-y = -7

Answer 2

x - y = -7

Explanation:

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

Step 1: Move the x over

-x + y = 7

Step 2: Factor out a -1

-1(x - y) = 7

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1

x - y = -7
