In the standard form of a linear equation:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
* * * * *
The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which is
ax + by + c = 0
The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:
by = -ax - c
so y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)
And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).

What is slope -8 -2-2 in standard form?
In standard form, there is no slope for three numbers.
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
Is 2x equals 7 in standard form or slope-intercept form?
Standard. You need a linear equation in two variables for slope-intercept form.
What is the standard form for a slope intercept?
y=mx+b. Standard form is Ax+By=C. To get to standard form from slope intercept, Move slope times x over to the y side and change the positive or negative sign.
How do you find the slope with standard form?
The standard form for the equation of a straight line in 2-dimensional space is ax + by + c = 0The standard form can be converted to the slope-intercept form by rearranging, as follows:by = -ax - cso y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)Then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).
