Move all variable terms to one side and have the non-variable terms on the other side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope intercept formula: y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "Standard Form Formula: Ax+By=C ...or... Ax+By+C=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Example: \"y=2x%2B9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Standard Form: \"2x-y=-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "An acceptable alternative is to move all terms to one side and have 0 on the other side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Example: \"y=2x%2B9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Alternative Standard Form: \"2x-y%2B9=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember any of the terms can be + or -, how you position them is what's important when answering the question.
