Question

Write the equation in standard form. 8−5y=−2x

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{2}{5}$x + 1$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 8 - 5y = -2x

Rearranging gives;

5y = 2x + 8

Dividing through by 5 gives;

y = $\frac{2}{5}$x + $\frac{8}{5}$

Simplifying gives;

y = $\frac{2}{5}$x + 1$\frac{3}{5}$

This is a standard linear equation form.
