Answer 1

Standard for is ax + by = c

Answer 2

Since you already have the slope of this line and one point on the line, please use the "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 3

Your initial result can easily be converted to the "standard form" presented by kdr1308.
