This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I
In this lesson, you'll cover how to rearrange a given equation into the standard form (y = mx
+ b). This is called the slope-intercept form, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept. For example, to rearrange an equation
2x - 9y = 3, you can isolate y variable on left
side and rewrite the equation. Thus, you'll arrive at an equation of the form y
= mx + b, where m = 2/9 and b = -1/3. Let's take another example, rearrange the equation y – 4x = 3 into standard form.
You have to rearrange the above equation in standard form i.e. y = mx + c,
To rearrange the equation into standard form you put term with 'x' to the right hand side of equation with the change
in sign and keep the 'y' term to the left hand side. As the result you'll get y = 4x + 3 which is the standard form.
