[color=#ff0000]In y=mx+b form, this line is y=x, the most simple line one can have. But in Standard Form, which is Ax+By=C, it is written as -1x+1y=0.[/color]
Standard Form
[size=200][quote]Standard Form is a way of describing a line in the format of Ax+By=C, where it can easily be translated to y=mx+b form.[/quote][/size]
Going from Ax+By=C to y=mx+b
[color=#0000ff]To go from Ax+By=C to y=mx+b, you must follow these steps.[br][br]First, we'll use 2x+2y=2 as our example. [br]1. Subtract 2x from both sides, to get 2y=2x+2. You cannot combine 2 with 2x.[br]2. Divide both sides by 2, from the 2y. (2x/2 = x), (2/2 = 1), if you put these two together, you will get y=x+1.[br]3. Answer = y=x+1[/color]
