Question

How do you write `y=5x+3` in standard form?

Answer 1

The standard form of a linear equation is `ax + by = c`

We can transpose `5x` to the left hand side to get

`y - 5x = 3`

`-5x + y = 3`

Multiplying both sides with `-1` gives us

`color(green)( 5x - y = -3` is the Standard form of `y=5x+3`
