Answer:

2x - 2y = - 10

Explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Given

- 2(x - y) - 10 = 0 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 2x + 2y - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 2x + 2y = 10 ( multiply through by - 1 )

2x - 2y = - 10 ← in standard form
