please tell me how, thanks

How do you change y=4x+(-6) into standard form(ax+by=c)?
(4)x + (-1)y=6


a = 4


b = -1


c = 6





i think...
Reply:subtract -4x from both side... and that is it. Answer: -4x+y= -6
Reply:the "c" is the number not being multiplied by x or y in your case its -6 so leave that on the right side and move the 4x to the left side by subtracting it from both sides. it should look like what you want
