Standard Form: Ax + By = C Can be used for any type of line (even a vertical line) Standard Form must have integer coefficients, with the leading coefficient positive. To write equations in standard form: 1. 2. 3. Use legal algebra moves (inverse operations) to move terms to the correct location.
Multiply by the denominator. Standard Form must have integer coefficients, with the leading coefficient positive. * To get rid of fractions: * To get rid of decimals: 4. 6. 8. 5. 7. 9. Multiply by the denominator. Multiply by a power of 10. (For example 10, 100, 1000, etc.)
