Question 398860
y=3/5 x + 2


First clear the fraction, by multiplying both sides by 5:
5y = 3x + 10


Next, subtract 3x from each side to get the variables all on the left side:
5y-3x=10


The tradition in standard form is to have the x coefficient positive, so multiply both sides by -1:


3x-5y = -10
