How do you convert slope intercept form to standard form?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Standard 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)

Answer 3

slope interecept form:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b= the point where the line will cross the y-axis
