Question

I need help putting this equation into standard form y+2=1/2(x-4) can you also explain how you got the answer please

​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x -y=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form is ax +by = c

so you will need to work with the equation

y+2 = x/2 - 4/2 = x/2-2

y = x/2 -4

-x/2 + y = -4 (now multiply by -1 to make it prettier)

x/2 -y = 4

so a=1/2 and b=-1

$\frac{1}{2} x -y=4$
