what is y=x−5 in standard form?

Answer 1

The Standard form of the line is : AX +BY = C



The given equation is in the form ( Which is Slope - intercept form ) : y = mx+c

y = x - 5

By re-arranging the above equation,

x - 5 = y

And moving constant to the right and y to the left side of the equation, we get

x - y = 5

Hence, this is the standard form x - y = 5

Answer 2

y=x-5 is an equation for a straight line in slope-intercept form. This form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Standard form for a straight line is Ax + By = C where A,B,C are real values.

The different forms are algebraically equivalent, and it is easy enough to put the given equation into standard form:

Starting with:

y = x - 5

Subtract y from both sides:

0 = x - y - 5

Add 5 to both sides:

5 = x - y

Re-arrange to:

x - y = 5

Answer 3

Be careful about the answer above because there seems to be a mistake.

Yes, to rewrite the equaiton in standard form

Ax + By = C but you are not allowed to lead with a negative number for A.

So, if you move the x term to the left then it will be -x + y = -5

However, to complete the standard equation you need to mulitply or divide the entire equation by -1

-1(-x + y = -5) = x -y = 5

Answer= x- y =5
