Question 726077
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept


standard form is ax + by = c
a is the coefficient of x
b is the coefficient of y
c is the constant.


to convert from slope intercept form to standard form, you need to get both the x and the y on the left side of the equation.


assuming your equation is y = -x - 12, you would do the following:


add x to both sides of the equation to get:
x + y = -12


in this equation, that's all you have to do.
you are in the form of:
ax + by = c
a is equal to 1
b is equal to 1
c is equal to -12
