Standard Form
Standard Form is a way of describing a line in the format of Ax+By=C, where it can easily be translated to y=mx+b form.
![[color=#ff0000]In y=mx+b form, this line is y=x, the most simple line one can have. But in Standard Form, which is Ax+By=C, it is written as -1x+1y=0.[/color]](https://www.geogebra.org/resource/FtuccqRK/nbw5xmlNDWLse7vd/material-FtuccqRK.png)
Going from Ax+By=C to y=mx+b
To go from Ax+By=C to y=mx+b, you must follow these steps.
First, we'll use 2x+2y=2 as our example.
1. Subtract 2x from both sides, to get 2y=2x+2. You cannot combine 2 with 2x.
2. Divide both sides by 2, from the 2y. (2x/2 = x), (2/2 = 1), if you put these two together, you will get y=x+1.
3. Answer = y=x+1
Describe how Standard Form differs from Y=mx+b form.
