Write the equation in standard form. y=-1/5x+2

5 x  −  y  =  − 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a linear equation in standard form, move each variable term to the left side of the equation and simplify.  This is the formula that you want:

A x  + By = C

Since  x  is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.  Switch the equation around.

5 x  +  2 = y

Move  y  to the left side of the equation because it contains a variable.  Subtract y from both sides or use what's called Subtraction property of equality.

5 x  +  2 −  y  =  0

Move  2  to the right side of the equation because it does not contain a variable.  Subtract 2 from both sides or use what's called Subtraction property of equality.

5 x  −  y  =  − 2

As you can see this version of the equation looks a lot like the formula you want meaning this is correct.

Ax + By = C Replace values ===> 5x - y = − 2
