find the sum or difference in simplest form 2/3+2/9=
x + 5y = 0
To express the equation y = -x/5 in standard form (Ax + By = C), we need to move all the variables to the same side of the equation and simplify the coefficients.
First, let's start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction. We get:
5y = -x
Next, let's move the x term to the other side by adding x to both sides:
x + 5y = 0
Now, the equation is in standard form (Ax + By = C) with A = 1, B = 5, and C = 0.
