Convert Y = - 7/2x-11 to Standard Form

7x + 2y = - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form looks like Ax + By = C.

Start with Y = - 7/2x-11. Better to write that as Y = (-7/2) x - 11 to emphasize that the coefficient of x is the fraction - 7/2.

Move the (-7/2) x term to the left:

(7/2) x + y = - 11

Multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the fractions:

7x + 2y = - 22 (answer)
