directrix · Answer

The Standard Form for a linear equation in two variables, x and y, is usually given as 
Ax + By = C
where, if at all possible, A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1.

>>how would y=3x+11 be turned into standard form?


y=3x+11

y    =   3x   +  11

3x   +  11  =    y

3x - y  + 11 =  y - y

3x - y + 11 =  0

Now, @jocelynsalcedo   subtract 11 from both sides.
