A linear equation in the forms:
a) Standard: ax + by = 0
b) General: ax + by + c = 0
Example: Find the equation of the line in standard form given a the slope 3/4 and y-intercept 4
y = mx + b m = 3/4; y-intercept= 4
y = 3x + 4
4
Transform to equation of the line in standard form:
3x - y = -4
3
3x - 3y = -12 Equation of the line
