3x-4y=-2

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"
