Question 29108
The slope/intercept form is y = mx + b where y and x are variables and m and b are constants.  To change to the standard form move all terms to the left side of the equation.


y = mx + b
becomes
-mx + y - b = 0


You may see the standard form written as ax + by + c = 0 where x and y are variables and a,b, and c are constants.
