 * CONVERT THE EQUATION OF A LINE INTO A STANDARD FORM OR Y-INTERCEPT FORM

To convert from Standard Form to Y-Intercept Form:** Standard form: 2x+3y-6=0

Solve for y: 3y= -2x+6

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y: 3y/3= -2x/3 + 6/3

This is the y-intercept form (y=mx+b): y= -2x/3 +2

Y-Intercept Form: y=5/2x - 1/6
 * To convert from Y-Intercept Form to Standard Form**

Multiply by 6 (LCD) to get rid of fractions: 6*y=6*5/2x-6*1/6 6y=15x-1

Move everything to the left side of the equal sign to make it into standard form.

This is standard form: -15x+6y+1=0
