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.

JordanStandard 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)

How do you convert an equation in standard form to slope-intercept form?
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
