Question

Y + 3 = 2/5(x + 5) , put that into standard form

Answer 1

Given:

`y+3=(2)/(5)(x+5)`

The standard form of the linear equation is,

`Ax+By=C`

Simplify the given equation,

`\begin{gathered} y+3=(2)/(5)(x+5) \\ 5(y+3)=2(x+5) \\ 5y+15=2x+10 \\ 2x-5y=15-10 \\ 2x-5y=5 \end{gathered}`

Answer: Standard form is 2x - 5y = 5
