Question

Rewrite the following equation in standard form. y = -3x - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

3x + y = -2

Explanation:

The standard form for linear equations in two variables is given as;

$Ax+By=C$

where A, B, and C are coefficients.

So given the below equation;

$y=-3x-2$

To represent this in the standard form given above, we have to add -3x to both sides of the equation;

$3x+y=-2$
