Answer

Slope-intercept form: y=5x-2

Standard form: 5x-y=2

Explanation

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. You can just plug in the numbers to go y=5x-2.

Standard form is Ax+By=C. This form is usually used to find the x-intercept and y=intercept. You can rearrange the numbers to get standard form; 5x-y=2.
