Lets start with slope intercept form as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we know m = 5 and b = -5, so we get
\n" ); document.write( "(i) $\"y+=+5x-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "standard form requires 2 things
\n" ); document.write( "(1) no decimals
\n" ); document.write( "(2) X and Y stuff on the same side and the # by itself.
\n" ); document.write( "From (i) subtract 5x to get
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) $\"-5x+%2B+y+=+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is standard form. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
