Equations in standard form?

standard form of a line is ax+by+c=0, a is positive. put the equation in standard form.





a)2/3x=y-1/6


b)-1/5x=2/3-1/15y





how do i do this? i would appreciate an explanation and all work. thanks

Equations in standard form?
a)2/3x=y-1/6





first get rid of all fractions. Mult by lcd, 6


4x=6y-1 now get the y term on the same side as the x term


4x-6y=-1


------------------------------


b)-1/5x=2/3-1/15y mult by 15


-3x = 10 -y


-3x +y=10


now mult by -1 because the x term should have a positive coefficient


3x-y=-10
