Hi,

*Note: standard form for an equation of a line is:  Ax +By = C

where A > 0 and, if possible, A, B, and C are relatively prime integers.

 5x-2 = 6y  Putting into standard form

subtracting 6y from both sides and adding 2 to both sides of the equation.

5x - 6y = 2

Standard form is Ax + By = C, all integers
5x-2 = 6y
Add2
5x = 6y + 2
Subtract 6y
5x - 6y = 2
