Write in Standard Form an Equation With Slope and 1 Point

==Steps:==

  1. Put into point-slope form
  2. Distribute
  3. Multiply by denominator to get rid of fractions
  4. Remember to change any double negatives into positives
  5. Remember that if you have 2 fractions, make sure you have the same denominator

Example:Example:

m= -1/3 point: (4, -1)

  1. ==Put into point-slope form==

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y--1=-1/3(x-4)

  1. ==Distribute and change any double negatives into positives==

y+1=-1/3x+4/3

4/3-1/1

  1. ==Multiply both ones by 3 so that they get the same denominator as the other fraction==

4/3-3/3=1/3

y=-1/3x+1/3

  1. ==Multiply the equation by the denominator to get rid of fractions==

3(1/3x+y=1/3)

1x+3y=1

x+3y=1
