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)


1x%2B1y=3 Start with the given equation


1x%2B1y-1x=3-1x Subtract 1x from both sides


1y=-1x%2B3 Simplify


The original equation 1x%2B1y=3 (standard form) is equivalent to y+=+-1x%2B3 (slope-intercept form)


The equation y+=+-1x%2B3 is in the form y=mx%2Bb where m=-1 is the slope and b=3 is the y intercept.
