y = mx + b, just subtract mx to both sides
-mx + y = b.
If the slope is a fraction, it is nice to eliminate the denominator first, so go and multiply each term at both sides by the denominator. If both, the slope and the constant, are fractions, multiply each term at both sides by their least common denominator.

∙ 13y agoStandard form has
ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are integers.
Slope-intercept form has
y = mx + b
To convert slope-intercept form to standard form, subtract mx from both sides of the equation.
-mx + y = b
If m is a fraction, multiply the equation by its denominator.
Example
y = 2/3x + 6 (slope-intercept form)
-2/3x + y = 6 (after the subtraction
of 2/3x)
-2x + 3y = 18 (standard form, after multiplication by 3)

Solve the equation for ' y '.
Convert slope-intercept form to standard form?
Slope-intercept form: y=mx+bStandard form: Ax+By=CAx+By=C --> By=-Ax+C --> y=-Ax/B+C/BWell they might need a little more help than just formulas... here is an exampleStandard form hasax + by = c, where a, b, and c are integers.Slope-intercept form hasy = mx + bTo convert slope-intercept form to standard form, subtract mx from both sides of the equation.-mx + y = bIf m is a fraction, multiply the equation by its denominator.Exampley = 2/3x + 6 (slope-intercept form)-2/3x + y = 6 (after the subtractionof 2/3x)-2x + 3y = 18 (standard form, after multiplication by 3)
How do you rewrite y equals -2 in slope intercept form?
It is in slope intercept form. The slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2.
If the slope of a line is 4 and the y intercept is negative 2 what is the linear equation in the slope intercept form?
slope intercept form is y=mx+b (m is slope, b is y intercept) slope = 4, y intercept = -2 y = 4x -2
What is 3x-6y equals 9 in slope intercept form?
It is: y = 0.5x-1.5 in slope intercept form
How do you convert an equation in standard form to slope-intercept form?
Solve the equation for ' y '.
Is 2x equals 7 in standard form or slope-intercept form?
Standard. You need a linear equation in two variables for slope-intercept form.
What is the difference between the slope intercept form and the standard form?
Slope intercept form is displayed as y=mx+b.
What is the standard form of a slope?
In the standard form of a linear equation:y = mx + bm is the slope* * * * *The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which isax + by + c = 0The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:by = -ax - cso y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).
What does slope intercept look like?
The standard form of the slope-intercept equation is: y = mx + b where "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.
What is the standard form for a slope intercept?
y=mx+b. Standard form is Ax+By=C. To get to standard form from slope intercept, Move slope times x over to the y side and change the positive or negative sign.

When writing linear equations how do you determine which form of a line to use?
It does not matter because they are equivalent. You can always convert from a slope-intercept form to a standard linear form (and vice versa).
