Standard form of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Standard form of Linear Equations in Two Variables
The Standard Form for a linear equation in two variables, x and y, is usually given as : ax + by = c, where a, b and c are real numbers, and a and b are not both zero.
If we have a linear equation in slope-intercept form, y = m x + b
For example, 3x + 2y = 8 is a linear equation in two variables.
Illustration: Convert 
in standard form :
Solution : The given equation, ,
We get , 3y - 8x = 15,
So as we know, ax + by = c is the standard form, the final answer is -8x + 3y = 15
Convert the Slope - Intercept form into Standard Form
So, to convert from slope intercept form y = mx + b to standard form ax + by + c = 0, let m = a/b.
Then collect all terms on the left side of the equation and multiply by the denominator b to get rid of the fraction.
The slope is defined to be the change in y divided by the change in x. Thus, if we express the slope as m = y change/x change or , we will have met our first demand.
Converting from slope intercept form to standard form takes little more than basic arithmetic.
An equation in slope intercept form has the basic structure
y=mx+b
y-mx=(mx-mx)+b
y-mx=b
y-mx-b=b-b
y-mx-b=0
−mx+y−b=0
If m is an integer, then B will equal 1.

It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
Eshan Arora
8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
