The standard form for y = 3/4x -5/2

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

we can do away with the denominators by simply multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case that'd be 4.

3x - 4y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract y from both sides, obtaining 5/2 = (3/4)x -1y.  This is the standard form.

Alternatively, elim. the fractions by mult. all 3 terms by 4:

10 = 3x - 4y

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
