Explanation:
The equation of a line in
color(blue)"standard form" is.
color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(Ax+By=C)color(white)(2/2)|)))
where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers.
y=3/4x+1/2
"subtract "3/4x" from both sides"
y-3/4x=cancel(3/4x)cancel(-3/4x)+1/2
rArr-3/4x+y=1/2
"multiply ALL terms by "-4
rArr3x-4y=-2larrcolor(red)" in standard form"
