How do you find the standard form for a linear equation? For example : y=2x+3
Standard Form is , where A,B, and C are integers. Some books also require A to be positive.
y=2x+3
-2x+y=-2x+2x+3
-2x+y=3 <--Some books find this acceptable.
-1(-2x+y)=-1(3)
2x-y=-3 <--Others want this.
Happy Calculating!!!
