$5x -y = 32$

When dealing with equations of straight lines, there are 3 possible terms. The standard form is in the format:

$ax + by = c" "$ where a, b, and c are all integers:

$y = 5x -32" "rarr 5x-32 = y$

Add 32 and subtract y on both sides:

$5x-y-32 +32 = y-y+32$

$5x -y = 32$

How do you write y = 5x- 32y = 5x- 32 in standard form?
