Write an equation for the line described in standard form. (The formula to do standard form is y - y1 = m (x-x1) An example of standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C. 
with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept 5; if the answer is 5x + 4y = 20, how would you get that?

anonymous · Answer

y - y1 = m (x-x1) is point slope form. Standard form is ax + by = c. So you're trying to go to point slope?

No I'm trying to go to standard form and that's the formula the book says to use. The chapter is about writing equations in point-slope form.
