5x+y=2

Explanation:

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
