Answer: x + 2y = 10

The equation
$y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+5$ is in slope-intercept; we need to write it in standard form, which is:

$\rightarrow ax+by=c$

So first, multiply both sides by 2; we get:

y*2=-1x+5*2

2y=-x+10

Next, add x to both sides:

2y+x=10

Finally, swap the terms:

x+2y=10 (answer). You're done!
