Express y - 5x = 5 in standard form.

The standard form of y - 5x = 5 is 5x - y = - 5

Solution:

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

5x-y + 5 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 5x = 5

5x-y + 5 = 0
