To convert the equation y=1/3x-5 into standard form with integer coefficients, we first multiply every term by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3y = 3(1/3x-5)
3y = x - 15
Next, we move the x term to the left side of the equation:
-x + 3y = -15
Rearranging the terms in descending order of powers:
-x + 3y = -15
Since this equation is now in standard form with integer coefficients, it meets the requirement.
Write an equation of the line in standard form with integer coefficients.
y=1/3x-5
