#5x+y=2#

Hi there,

The standard form of an equation is given by;
#Ax+By=C#

In this question we have,

#y=(-5x)+2#

It can be converted into standard form by using simple algebraic operations.

First open the parenthesis bracket we get,
or, #y=-5x+2#

Now add 5x on both side, we get
or, #y+5x=-5x+2+5x#
or, #y+5x=2#

Arrange the above equation in standard form, we get
or, #5x+y=2#

This is our final answer.
Thanks
