The "form" only refers to how the equation of the line is written. It has
no effect on what the line looks like when the equation is graphed.
To graph a linear equation, no matter what form it's written in:
-- Pick a number for 'x'. Use the equation to calculate 'y'. Graph the point.
-- Pick another 'x'. Use the equation to calculate the new 'y'. Graph the point.
-- Draw a straight line between the two points, and as much farther as you want to
in either or both directions.
