You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation is initially given in slope-intercept form.

Multiplicative Inverse of 5;
Multiplicative Inverse of 7;
Additive Inverse of the term of X;
Do any simplifications;
DONE.... You should now have the equation transformed into its equivalent in standard form.

DOING THE STEPS BOTH PLAINLY AND EFFICIENTLY:
y=%283%2F5%29x-2%2F7
5%2A7y=5%2A7%283%2F5%29x-5%2A7%282%2F7%29
35y=21x-10
-21x%2B35y=-10
highlight%2821x-35y=10%29 ------ using multiplication of both sides by 1
