Step 1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$y = 2 x^{2} - (3 x) - - 5$

Step 1.2

Multiply $3$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 2 x^{2} - 3 x - - 5$

Step 1.3

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 5$ .

$y = 2 x^{2} - 3 x + 5$

Step 2

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be $0$ or $1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable $y$ is $1$ and the degree of variable $x$ is $2$ .
