If you get the x and y intercept of an equation how do you put it into standard form?

Ax + By=C standard form

If you get the x and y intercept of an equation how do you put it into standard form?
x - intercept = (x,0) and y-int = (0,y)


First find the slope.





Use 1st y = mx + b, substituting in x and y to find b.





Then write the equation from there in standard form.





Example (3,0) and (0,-2) Slope = 2/3





y = mx+b


-2 = 2/3(3) + b





-2 = 4/3 + b





b = -10/3





y = 4/3 x - 10/3 Mult by 3





3y = 4x - 10





4x - 3y = 10
Reply:as an example





given is x/(3y) = 3





then x = 9y =%26gt; x - 9y = 0.





x intercept is where y = 0 thus fill in y = 0 : x - 9y = 0 =%26gt; x - 0 = 0 =%26gt; x = 0





the y intercept is where x = 0 : 0-9y=0 =%26gt; y=0
Reply:The intercept form of the equation of a straight line Is:


x/a +y/b =1, where a is x-intercept and b is y-intercept.





So (bx + ay)/ab = 1


bx + ay = ab


So b = A, a = B, and C = ab





So equation is:


bx +ay = ab
