Write this in standard form. y=-5x

5x + y= 0 ?

Thank you. :3

To write the equation y = -5x in standard form, we need to rearrange it so that all the variables are on one side and the constants are on the other side. The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

In this case, our equation is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope (-5) and b represents the y-intercept (0 in this case).

To convert it to standard form, we can start by moving the variables (x and y) to the left side of the equation:

5x + y = 0

However, standard form usually requires A to be positive, so let's multiply the entire equation by -1 to make it so:

-5x - y = 0

Now, our equation is in standard form, where 5 is the coefficient of x, 1 is the coefficient of y, and 0 is the constant term.
