How to write y-3 = 5(x-2) in standard form

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

-5x + y = -7

Discussion:

The standard form of a line looks like this: Ax + By = C  

y - 3 = 5(x-2)                   =>       5(x-2) = 5x -10

y -3  = 5x - 10                 =>       add 3 to both sides

y -3 + 3 = 5x - 10 + 3     => as =3 + 3 = 0 and -10 + 3 = -7

y = 5x - 7                        => subtract 5x form both sides

y -5x = -7                        => rearrange terms

-5x + y = -7

This is Standard from with A = -5, B = 1 and C = -7

Thank you,
