I just gave a response to this same question. Use your algebra skill as I said there.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note, starting with point-slope form, y-v=m(x-u) for some point (u,v) on the line, transform into whichever other form you want.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=m%28x-u%29%2Bv\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx-mu%2Bv\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2B%28v-mu%29\"----slope-intercept form, although the way you might handle the values depends on what they are and/or their signs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What you do for standard form depends on any denominator of m, since you want to try to get integer coefficients for x and y if possible.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2B%28v-mu%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-mx=v-mu\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"mx-y=mu-v\"---a possible standard form; the right member is a constant.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
