Ax+By=C This is the standard form of a linear equation.
This can be rearranged to
By = -Ax + C
or further
y = (- A/B)x + C/B
Where '-A/B' is the slope/gradient and 'C/B' is a constant - the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
NB Curved lines have either 'x' or 'y' raised to a power/index.

Is 9x- 3y equals 27 a standard form of linear equation?
It is a straight line equation that can be simplified to: y = 3x-9
Write an equation in standard form of the line satisfying the following condition the line through -55 and is horizonal?
I need step by step on my graphic calculator on how to write an equation
What is the definition of standard form of an equation of a line?
There is not one, but several, standard forms for the equation of a line: for example, the slope-intercept form (which is basically the equation, solved for variable "y"); the form Ax + By + c = 0; and others.
4. Write an equation in standard form for a line satisfying the given condition. Through -2 and 9 and -2 and 7.?
The standard form is Ax + By = C. The slope of the line is (9-7)/(-2 - (-2)) or 2/0. This indicates that this is a vertical line whose x intercept is -2. The equation of the line is then x = -2.
How do you find the gradient of a line with the equation y equals 3x plus 2?
An equation such as y = mx + c is said to be in standard form. From such an equation, Gradient = coefficient of x = 3
