Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Example of Converting from Slope Intercept to Standard Form

Example

Convert $$ y = \frac 5 4 x + 5 $$, graphed on the right, to standard form.

Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Step 1

Multiply by the least common denominator of the fractions (if any)

The only fraction is $$ \frac { 5}{ \red 4} $$ so you can multiply everything by 4.
$ \red 4 \cdot y = \red 4 \cdot \big( \frac { 5}{ \red 4}x +5 \big) \\ 4y = 5x + 20 $

Step 2

Move" y1 to the other side by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation and simplify

Practice Problems

Problem 1

Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Step 1

Multiply by the least common denominator of the fractions

The only fraction is $$ \frac{2}{\red 3 } $$ so you can multiply everything by 3.

$$ \red 3 \cdot y = \red 3 \big( \frac{2}{\red 3 } -4 \big) \\ 3y = 2x-12 $$

Step 2

Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Step 1

Multiply by the least common denominator of the fractions (if any)

The only fraction is $$ \frac{1}{\red 2}$$ so you can multiply everything by 2.

$$ \red 2 \cdot y =\red 2 \cdot \big( \frac{1}{\red 2} x + 5 \big) \\2y = x + 10 $$

Step 2

Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Step 1

Multiply all terms by the least common denominator of the fractions

Unlike the prior examples, this problem has two fractions $$ \big( \frac 2 3 \text{ and } \frac 5 9 \big) $$ so you can multiply everything by their common denominator of $$ \red 9$$ .

$$ \red 9 \cdot y = \red 9 \big( \frac 2 3 x + \frac 5 9 \big) \\ 9y = 6x + 5 $$

Step 2

Converting linear equations to standard form calculator

Step 1

Multiply all terms by the least common denominator of the fractions

This problem only has the fraction $$ \frac{4}{\red 7 } $$ so we must multiply everything by 7.

$$ \red 7 \cdot y = \red 7 \big( 5x + \frac 4 7 \big) \\ 7y = 35x + 4 $$

Step 2

Problem 5

Convert the the equation below from slope intercept to standard from (yes, this is a very challenging problem so let's see how sharp your algebra skills are.) $ y = ax + \frac b c $

Step 1

Multiply all terms by the least common denominator of the fractions

This problem only has the fraction $$ \frac{b}{ \red c } $$ so we must multiply everything by $$ \red c $$.

$$ \red c \cdot y = \red c \big( ax + \frac b c \big) \\ cy = cax + b $$ .

How do you convert linear equations to standard form?

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C. To change an equation written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to standard form, you must get the x and y on the same side of the equal sign and the constant on the other side. Use inverse operations to move terms.

How do I convert slope

Convert the standard form equation x+y=2 to slope-intercept form. To convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, all we have to do is rearrange our equation to solve for y and then double check that our terms are in the correct order. So to do that with this equation, we have to subtract x from both sides.

How do you convert an algebraic expression into standard form?

How do you rewrite an equation into standard form? A linear equation in standard form has the form Ax+By=C. So, to rewrite an equation in standard form, first move the x and y terms to the same side of the equal side. Then, check to be sure that the coefficients A, B, and C are all integers.
