Thread: Slope Intercept to Standard Form

I have another problem on my math summer review hoping you can help.

I need to convert this slope intercept equation to standard form(Ax+By=C) where the A is positive.

Equation:
Y=(-1/2)
Y=(13/10)x


Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I also need help with this one, same type of problem.

Y=(13/10)x

Hi Mp5xm8

Is this what you mean?

y = - 1/2 ------------------> already in standard form where A = 0, B = 1, C = -1/2

y = (13/10)x
(13/10) x - y = 0 --------> A = (13/10), B = -1, C = 0

or

y = (13/10) x
10 y = 13 x
13 x - 10 y = 0 ----------> A = 13, B = -10, C = 0

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Since you mention slope-intercept, I'm guessing that perhaps the intercept is , and the slope is . Is that what you mean?

If so, its ' ' equation is



Multiply both sides by :



So the equation in the format you wanted is:
