Question 894497
Standard Form for a line in two dimensions is {{{highlight_green(ax+by=c)}}}.  The equation given to you is in point-slope form.  Your first step should be to simplify the equation; and in doing so, arrange variable terms onto one side of the equation and any constant on the other side of the equation.


Here, I will do this only in general:


{{{y-k=m(x-h)}}}, line equation in point-slope form.
{{{y-k=mx-mh}}}
{{{-mx+y-k=-mh}}}
{{{-mx+y=-mh+k}}}
and then for convenience for the form,
{{{mx-y=mh-k}}}----The step was multiply both sides by {{{-1}}}.
but you might have a denominator in m which you want to clear, so you might multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of m.


Now you take care of the equation you were given.
