How do you write 5x=y-2 in standard form.

Question

I know how to genuinely do these types of questions, but I’m having a hard time with this because I don’t know.

Answer 1

by standard form, do you mean y = mx + b?

If so, just rearrange it:

5x = y - 2

y = 5x + 2 << m = 5 and b = 2 >>

Answer 2

Well we know that the standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C. So what needs to be done is moving the "y" term to the left side of the equation, using inverse operations (subtracting on both sides).
