Question

What is y=-2x+5 in standard form

Answer 1

Answer: 2x+y=5

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is

ax+by=c

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

2x+y=5

Answer 2

2x + y = 5

Explanation:

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Standard form of a linear equation}\\\\$Ax+By=C$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A, B$ and $C$ are constants. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A$ must be positive.\\\end{minipage}}`

Given equation:

`y=-2x+5`

To write the given equation in standard form, collect the terms with variables on one side of the equation, ensuring the term in x is positive.

Add 2x to both sides:

`\implies y+2x=-2x+5+2x`

`\implies y+2x=5`

`\implies 2x+y=5`
