Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)

Please select the method of conversion form. For instance if you have a problem similar to 2x%2B3y=5

and you want to convert it to slope-intercept form, then choose "standard_to_slope-intercept". If you have something similar to y=2x%2B5

and you want to convert it to standard form then choose "slope-intercept_to_standard"

Input the equation in standard form Ax%2BBy=C

x+ y=

or

Enter your equation in slope-intercept form ( y=mx%2Bb

form)

y=x +

note: make sure you choose the correct form from the drop box above. Also, if you have decimal coefficients, convert them to fractions. For instance, if you have .2x%2B.1y=10

, then input it as %281%2F5%29x%2B%281%2F10%29y=10

Note: Unfortunately I haven't had much time to fix this solver, but there's a small bug where the x coefficient isn't made positive if you convert to standard form. If you convert from slope-intercept to standard form, and the solver says that the x coefficient is negative, multiply EVERY number by -1 to change the signs of each number. This will make the x coefficient positive. Technically the solver is correct, but some books/teachers want that x coefficient to be positive.
