Write in Standard Form y=-2/9x+2

$y = - \frac{2}{9} x + 2$

Step 1

The standard form of a linear equation is $A x + B y = C$ .

Step 2

Multiply both sides by $9$ .

$9 y = 9 (- \frac{2}{9} x + 2)$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $9 (- \frac{2}{9} x + 2)$ .

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{2}{9}$ .

$9 y = 9 (- \frac{x \cdot 2}{9} + 2)$

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$9 y = 9 (- \frac{2 x}{9} + 2)$

Simplify terms.

Apply the distributive property.

$9 y = 9 (- \frac{2 x}{9}) + 9 \cdot 2$

Cancel the common factor of $9$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{2 x}{9}$ into the numerator.

$9 y = 9 \frac{- 2 x}{9} + 9 \cdot 2$

Cancel the common factor.

$9 y = 9 \frac{- 2 x}{9} + 9 \cdot 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$9 y = - 2 x + 9 \cdot 2$

Multiply $9$ by $2$ .

$9 y = - 2 x + 18$

Step 4

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Add $2 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$9 y + 2 x = 18$

Reorder $9 y$ and $2 x$ .

$2 x + 9 y = 18$
