Standard Form of a Linear Equation

After correcting homework, we took a look at a second way to write linear equations. Having the equations in slope-intercept form is extremely useful when trying to graph an equation. When asked to find the x and y intercepts of a given equation, this form is not as useful. Writing the equation in standard form is another way to express linear equations, and this would be extremely helpful for finding the intercepts. The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C. In this equation, A, B and C need to be integers (not fractions) and A must be positive.
