y=13x9y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 9 in standard form

Full solution

Q. y=13x9y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 9 in standard form
  1. Understand standard form: Understand what standard form means.\newlineThe standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=CAx + By = C, where AA, BB, and CC are integers, and AA should be non-negative.
  2. Rewrite in standard form: Rewrite the given equation in standard form.\newlineWe start with the equation y=13x9y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 9 and want to rearrange it to the form Ax+By=CAx + By = C.
  3. Move x term left: Move the term with xx to the left side of the equation.\newlineTo do this, we add 13x\frac{1}{3}x to both sides of the equation to get 13x+y=9\frac{1}{3}x + y = -9.
  4. Clear fraction by multiplying: Clear the fraction by multiplying every term by the denominator of the fraction.\newlineIn this case, we multiply every term by 33 to eliminate the fraction: 3(13x)+3y=3(9)3\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) + 3y = 3(-9).
  5. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newlineThis gives us 1x+3y=271x + 3y = -27.
  6. Ensure AA is non-negative: Ensure that AA is non-negative.\newlineSince 11 is already non-negative, we do not need to multiply the equation by 1-1.
  7. Check for integers: Check if AA, BB, and CC are integers.\newlineIn the equation 1x+3y=271x + 3y = -27, A=1A = 1, B=3B = 3, and C=27C = -27, which are all integers.
