Question

can anyone help me with slopes?

Answer 1

Sure

Answer 2

yay!
so i need help with standard form...i dont get it o.o
how to turn y=mx+b into standard from

Answer 3

y=mx+b is the standard form.

Answer 4

no, that's the equation for a line, i mean to turn that, into Ax+By+C=0

Answer 5

Oh, in that case you need to transpose terms by adding/subtracting them from both sides of the equation. Starting out with y=mx+b, first subtract mx from both sides, then subtract b from both sides. This will leave you with:

y-mx-b = 0

Answer 6

what about, for example, if the equation of the line was y=5x+2
what would be the standard form for that?

Answer 7

and i heard something about multiplying of dividing it by -1to make the equation positive

Answer 8

You would need to subtract 5x and 2 from both sides of the equation to get it into standard form.

Answer 9

slope of a line is nothing but finding the tangent of that particular line at that point
