Sagot :

- 3x + 4y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is ax + by = c.

4y - 12 = 3x

Transpose 12 to the other side.

When we transpose, the sign of the variable or number will change to its opposite.

4y = 3x + 12

Transpose 3x to the other side.

- 3x + 4y = 12

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b while the standard form is Ax + By = C

To convert a slope-intercept form to standard form, say,

4y - 12 = 3x

First, we need to transform it to a y=mx+b form. That is,

Then, to convert it to standard form, we have,

[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: y = \frac{3}{4} x + 3 \\ -\frac{3}{4}x +y= 3 [/tex]

Lastly, multiplying both sides with 4, we get,
