What is y+5=7 (x-8) written in standard form?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear function. Standard form for a linear function is

Ax + By = C

Begin by distributing to get rid of the parenthesis:

y + 5 = 7x - 56

Now combine the constants on the right side:

y = 7x - 61 That's slope-intercept form, but to get it into standard, move the 7x over to the y side:

-7x + y = - 61

If you don't like to lead with a negative, you can simply just change ALL the signs:

7x - y = 61
