Which of the following represents the equation y = mx + b, where m is a positive integer, written in standard form?

select one:
a. x+y=mb
b. mx−y=−b
c. −mx+y=0
d. 2y+x=−mb

B. mx−y=−b

Start with ...

... y = mx +b

Subtract mx.

... -mx +y = b

You want the leading coefficient positive, so multiply by -1.

... mx -y = -b . . . . matches selection B

B. mx−y=−b

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is given by :-

, where A is a positive integer , B and C are integers.

The given equation :

, where m is a positive integer.

The convert it into standard form , we subtract y and b from both sides , we get

Simplify,

Or we can write it as → Standard form.

Thus , the equation of line in standard form = , where m is a positive integer.

Hence, the correct answer is B. mx−y=−b
