Convert y - 2 = -4(x - 12) to standard form.

Hello, there!



First, let's simplify the right side by using the distributive property.

-4 * x = -4x

-4 * -12 = 48

Now, we have:



Now, let's the equation to make the right side only contain y.


+2                     +2

Now, we have:


Finally, to make this equation standard form (), we must add 4x to each side


+4x          +4x

Our final answer is:



This means that the correct answer is A.

I hope I helped!
