Linear equations in any form. You can also change slope-intercept form to standard form like this. Y-y 1 m x-x 1.
X and y are just our variables but x 1and y 1are the coordinates of a specific point on the line and m is the slope.
Whats Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation. This is done by subtracting We now have the equation -mx y b. Its very easy to figure out what the slope and what the Y intercept is from this equation. When we find slope in standard form we take the A term divide by B then change the sign or we just say -AB.
