I need math help: how do i write the equation in standard form if the line has a y-intercept 5 and slope is 2?

Answer 1

The standard form for a linear line is: Ax + By = C

The easiest way to put it into standard for is probably to put it in the slope-intercept form of y = mx + b where 'm' is the slope of the line, and 'b' is the y-intercept. From this, we will get y = 2x + 5. Therefore, the equation in standard form is -2x + y = 5

QED

Answer 2

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x+5. Standard form is Ax+By=c

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-2x+y=5

Most people think it's "cleaner" to have a positive x term, so multiply everything by -1:

2x-y=-5

Answer 3

y=2x+5
