John is plotting a graph for his monthly expenses and realizes the relationship between the months and his expenses can be represented by the equation y = 2x + 3. What is the standard form of this equation?
2x - y = -3
2x + y = 3
-2x + y = 3
2x - y = 3
Imagine a hiking trail that goes straight from the base camp at coordinates (1,2) to a scenic overlook at (3,8) on a map. What is the standard form of the equation that represents this path?
3x - 2y = -2
3x + 2y = 8
x - 3y = -7
3x - y = 2
A company's profit, P, in thousands of dollars, is related to the number of products sold, x, by the equation P = -4x + 5. Convert this equation into standard form.
