Question

Write y = -2/5x+3 in standard form using integers.

A. 2x + 5y = -15
B. 2x -5y = 15
C. 2x + 5y =3
D. 2x - 5y = 3

Answer 1

Answer:
2x + 5y = 15

Explanation:
The given equation is:
y = $\frac{-2}{5} x + 3$

First, we will need to get rid of the fraction. We can do this by multiplying all terms by 5. This will give us:
5y = -2x + 15

Now, we will need to get the x and y terms on one side of the equation as follows:
5y + 2x = -2x + 2x + 15
2x + 5y = 15 .........> the required form

Hope this helps :)
