How do you write y - 6 = 1/2 (x + 4) in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax + By = C is standard form

y - 6 = 1/2 (x + 4) ... distribute thru the parenthesis

y - 6 = 1/2x + 2 ... multiply by 2 to get rid of fractions

2y - 12 = x + 4 ... add 12 to both sides

2y = x + 4 + 12

2y = x + 16 ... subtract x from both sides

-x + 2y = 16 ... multiply by - 1 to make x positive

x - 2y = - 16 <== = standard form
