Standard Form for a line in two dimensions is . The equation given to you is in point-slope form. Your first step should be to simplify the equation; and in doing so, arrange variable terms onto one side of the equation and any constant on the other side of the equation.

Here, I will do this only in general:

, line equation in point-slope form.



and then for convenience for the form,
----The step was multiply both sides by .
but you might have a denominator in m which you want to clear, so you might multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of m.

Now you take care of the equation you were given.
