The standard form of y - 5x = 5 is 5x – y = -5
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given equation is y - 5x = 5
We have to express in standard form
The standard form of a line is in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.
The standard form of a line is just another way of writing the equation of a line.
So, to write the given equation in standard form we need to rearrange the terms.
Hence the equation becomes:
y - 5x = 5
On rearranging the terms, we get
-5x + y = 5
We need the x-term to be positive, so multiply the equation by -1 to get our answer
5x - y = -5
Hence the standard form is found out
