Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). We can rewrite an equation in point-slope form to be in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, to highlight the same line's slope and y-intercept.
The standard form is represented in linear equations as Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants. This form clearly lets us see the coefficients (the numbers multiplying x and y). For example, the equation 2x + 3y = 7 is in standard form.

How do I convert slope intercept form to standard form? Move all the terms to one side of the equality sign. Remember about changing the signs! Rearrange the equation so that the term with x is first, then the term with y , and then the intercept last. We now have mx - y + b = 0 and… this is already the standard form!
But many times the answer needs to be in standard form. And standard form is ax plus b y equals cMoreBut many times the answer needs to be in standard form. And standard form is ax plus b y equals c where a B and C are all integers. And a is larger than zero. So a has to be positive.

We can rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to be in standard form (Ax+By=C) instead. In this example, we rewrite the slope-intercept equation y=2/3x+4/7 in standard form.
