Standard:
Ax+By=C (A must be positive; A, B, and C must be integers)
Point-slope:
y-h=m(x-k) ((k,h) is a point on the line, m is the slope)
slope-intercept:
y=mx+b (m is the slope, b is the y-intercept)

y = mx + c
Is the general equation of a straight line
Where 'm' is the slope/gradient of the line and 'c' is the intercept on the y-axis.
This equation can be algebraically rearranged.
ny = mx + c
ny - mx = c
ny - mx - c = 0
or
mx - ny + c = 0
Approach by 2 formulas; slope m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the equation of the line is (y-y1)= m*(x-x1) where point 1 is (x1,y1) and point 2 is (x2,y2)
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.
When it is a linear equation.
It is a linear equation.
The equation of a line is y=mx+b, when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
