subtract 2x from each side so youre left with y = 5 -2x

rearrange the left side so it looks like -2x + 5

combine them y = -2x + 5

2x+y=5
To put this in slope intercept form, you simply have to get y by itself on the left side of the equation.
2x+y=5
2x+y-2x=5-2x
y=-2x+5
Now, I had to switch the right side around like that, because slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Because you're subtracting 2x from 5, it becomes 5 added to -2x when it's put in the correct form.
y=-2x+5
