The standard form for a linear equation is ___. is the answer y=mx+b or Ax+By=C or y=x or x + y = 0 THANKS?

The standard form for a linear equation is ________.





y=mx+b





Ax+By=C


y=x


x + y = 0

The standard form for a linear equation is ___. is the answer y=mx+b or Ax+By=C or y=x or x + y = 0 THANKS?
Ax+By = C
Reply:Ax+By=C
Reply:If you are going to be graphing it, it would be y=my+b. y is the overall line, x is a solution, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
Reply:All of your equations are lines, but you are asking for the "standard form". That is Y=mX+b. This form is ideal for graphing where "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y intercept. We can rearrange all of your other equations above into this format:





Y=X is really Y = 1X + 0 or a slope m=1 and an intercept b=0





X+Y=0 is really Y=-1X+0 or a slope m= -1 and intercept b=0





AX+BY=C is Y=(-A/B)X + (C/B) OR m=-A/B and b = C/B





Best Regards
