Best Answer

In the standard form of a linear equation:
y = mx + b
m is the slope


* * * * *


The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which is

ax + by + c = 0


The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:


by = -ax - c

so y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)


And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).

What is the standard form of the linear equation 8x plus 2 equals 7y?

8x - 7y + 2 = 0 The slope-intercept form is NOT the standard form. The above form is easily generalised to 3 (or more) dimensions, not so with the slope-intercept form.
