Ax+By=C
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
It does not matter because they are equivalent. You can always convert from a slope-intercept form to a standard linear form (and vice versa).
There are many different standard forms: standard forms of numbers, of linear equations, of circles, etc. The standard form of numbers simplifies working with very large and very small numbers.
The standard of conic section by linear is the second order polynomial equation. This is taught in math.
