Solved by pluggable solver: Converting Linear Equations in Standard form to Slope-Intercept Form (and vice versa)
Convert from standard form (Ax+By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx+b)


4x%2B1y=1 Start with the given equation


4x%2B1y-4x=1-4x Subtract 4x from both sides


1y=-4x%2B1 Simplify


The original equation 4x%2B1y=1 (standard form) is equivalent to y+=+-4x%2B1 (slope-intercept form)


The equation y+=+-4x%2B1 is in the form y=mx%2Bb where m=-4 is the slope and b=1 is the y intercept.
