Step 1: Find the 
-intercept of 
. Substitute the value 
for 
and solve the resulting equation for . Form the ordered pair )
where 
is the solution you just calculated.
Step 2: Find the slope of 
. Since both variables are on the same side of the equals sign, use the following short-cut method: Divide the opposite of the coefficient on by the coefficent on .
Step 3: Use the point-slope form:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the point calculated in step 1 and 
is the slope calculated in step 2.
Step 4: Arrange the result of step 3 into Standard Form, namely 
. If any of your coefficients are other than integers, verify that your teacher/instructor/professor's definition of Standard Form allows coefficients that are not integers. Otherwise, use an appropriate multiplier to convert to integer coefficients.
