how do you go from slope intercept form to standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope-intercept form is : y = mx + b Since the standard form is ax + by = c you just bring the mx term over to the left: -mx + y = b and now you are in standard form

can youexplain what you wrote in this examples 6y=18x-12 2y=8-6x

@tcarroll010 @tcarroll010 @tcarroll010 can youexplain what you wrote in this examples 6y=18x-12 2y=8-6x 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope-intercept form: 6y =18x - 12 standard form: -18x + 6y = -12 can also be written: 18x - 6y = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but can you explain how you got that @tcarroll010 @tcarroll010 @tcarroll010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like each step no you didnt can you just explain again please

There's nothing more I can add to my explanation. I moved the "mx" term from the right-hand side over to the left-hand side. The technique is by subtracting that "mx" term from both sides and preserves the equality. In general: If a = b + c and you want to get "c" over to the left, you subtract it from both sides. a - c = (b + c) - c -> a - c = b + (c - c) -> a - c = b + 0 a - c = b And that's all there is to it.
