Question

Write y+1=-2x-3 in standard form

Answer 1

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation: this looks alot like an equation for slope is it?

Answer 2

-2x - y = 4

Explanation:

Standard Form: Ax + By = k

Note that while k is a variable, it stands for constant, which means the number with no variables attached would fill in the space. Isolate the constant. Subtract y, and add 3 to both sides:

y + 1 = -2x - 3

y (-y) + 1 = -2x - 3 (-y)

1 = -2x - 3 - y

1 = -2x - 3 - y

1 (+3) = -2x - 3 (+3) - y

4 = -2x - y

Set the equation so that it looks like the standard form equation given above:

-2x - y = 4 is your answer.
