Use the idea shown here, although used slope-intercept equation and different example:
Linear Equation through Two Given Points

Once done, use this idea:
If this is your slope-intercept form equation: y=%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bb
Take these steps:
d%2Ay=d%28%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bb%29, using n%2Fd as the slope
d%2Ay=nx%2Bbd
d%2Ay-nx=b%2Ad
highlight_green%28nx-dy=-bd%29------standard form symbolically derived from slope-intercept form.
