(1)
What do you know about equations of lines in standard form?
(2)
What do the terms of an equation in slope-intercept form tell you?

Standard Form Equation of a line:
ax%2Bby%2Bc=0, one form of "standard form".
Solve for y.
by=-ax-c
y=-ax%2Fb-c%2Fb
highlight_green%28y=-%28a%2Fb%29x-c%2Fb%29-----Equation transformed into slope intercept form.
