The standard form of a linear equation in two variables, x and y, is
ax + by = k1 where a, b and k1 are constants.
This can be extended to three dimensions (x, y and z) simply:
ax + by + cz = k2 where a, b, c and k2 are constants.
Extension to 4 or more dimensions can be carried out in a similar way.
Apart from the fact that this form lends itself to simple extension to multi-dimensional space, the other main advantage is that the form is easy to represent in matrix form:
Thus AX = K where A is the matrix of coefficients, X the matrix of variables and k the matrix of constants. The tools of matrix algebra can then be used to work with these lines in hyperspace.
The standard form is sometimes confused with the slope-intercept form
y = ax + b.

What is the standard from of a linear equation?
A linear equation is that equation in which a variable or variables has exponent equal to 1. For example, standard form of linear equation in one variable: a1x + a2x +.......+ anx = c Standard form of a linear equation : a1x + a2x +.........+ anx = c e.g. 4x + 3 =6, 3x + 6y + 5z = 2 etc.
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 standard form linear equation's?
A standard form of a linear equation would be: ax + by = c
How do you do standard form of a linear equation if there is not a c?
aX+bY+cZ=0 Is a type of linear equation.
What are the importance of linear equation?
They are the simplest form of relationship between two variables. Non-linear equations are often converted - by transforming variables - to linear equations.
