 The standard form for the equation of a line is Ax + By = C. A, B and C are real numbers and, x and y are variables. |
this formula is used:  Both x and y remain variables. The slope, m, will be a real number as well as  .Recall the formula for a slope.  |
 Step 2: Substitute values into the formula.  Step 3: Use the distributive property.  Step 4: Use the addition property of equality to combine the constants, and to place x and its coefficient across the equal sign.  Step 5: Multiply by the denominator to create integer coefficients.  |
