The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = c, so build the slope-intercept form of the line first, then transform it into the standard form.

jhannybean · Answer

$$\large y=mx+b$$is the slope-intercept form. first you'd have to solve for b by inputting values of x and y. $$5=-1(2)+b$$ by getting b, you would 
1) the slope = 2. and 
2) a y-intercept. (b)

you can rewrite your equation then in slope-intercept form.
