Question

Write y=2/5x−2 in standard form.

Answer 1

2x - 5y = 10

Explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

given

y =
`(2)/(5)` x - 2 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction )

5y = 2x - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 2x + 5y = - 10 ( multiply through by - 1 )

2x - 5y = 10 ← in standard form
