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).

In standard form, there is no slope for three numbers.
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.
Standard. You need a linear equation in two variables for slope-intercept form.
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.
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).
