Ax + By = C
is standard form
here you have
(9/4) x - y = -3/2
multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of fractions
9 x - 4 y = -6
Write Y= 9/4x+3/2 in standard form..
the answer I got was -9/4+y=3/2
I don't understand why I got it wrong

You have lost the x variable
from your equation Y= 9/4x+3/2
multiply each term by 4, the LCD
4y = 9x + 6
0 = 9x - 4y + 6 (1)
or 9x - 4y = -6 (2)
Most texts call version (1) general form
and version (2) standard form
