How to Turn Slope-Intercept Form into Standard Form
To turn slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) into standard form (Ax + By = C), rearrange the equation to move all terms involving x and y to one side. So, take y = mx + b and subtract mx from both sides to get -mx + y = b. Multiplying everything by -1 (to get rid of the negative sign) results in mx - y = -b. Standard form achieved!

Easy peasy! From y = mx + b, just subtract mx from both sides to get y - mx = b. Then rearrange: mx - y = -b. Boom, standard form.
From y = mx + b, subtract mx to get y - mx = b. Then multiply by -1: mx - y = -b. Voil脿, standard form!
Just subtract mx from y = mx + b to get y - mx = b OR mx - y = -b. Done!
