Question

How do you turn `y=1/2x -3` into standard form using integers?

Answer 1

`x-2y=6`

Explanation:

There is only one denominator which we need to get rid of.

`y = 1/2x-3" "larr` multiply through by 2

`2xx y - cancel2 xx 1/cancel2x - 2xx3`

`2y = x-6" "larr` there are no fractions!

`x-2y =6" "larr` re-arrange the terms
