Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) to standard form (Ax+By = C)


Start with the given equation


Subtract 3x from both sides


Simplify


Multiply both sides by -1 to make the A coefficient positive (note: this step may be optional; it will depend on your teacher and/or textbook)


Distribute and simplify


The original equation (slope-intercept form) is equivalent to (standard form where A > 0)


The equation is in the form where , and
