Convert a linear equation from standard form into slope-intercept form or a vertical line.

Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team

Calculation steps
Rearrange Ax + By = C to isolate y.
Divide by B to get slope-intercept form.
Read the slope and y-intercept from the result.
Converted form
y = -1.0000x + 1.0000

What Is Standard Form?

Standard form for a line is Ax + By = C, which can be rewritten as y = mx + b when B is not 0.

How To Convert Standard Form

  1. Move Ax to the other side.
  2. Divide by B to isolate y.
  3. Read the slope and intercept.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if B is 0?

The line is vertical, so the result is x = constant.

What does the slope equal?

The slope is -A/B when B is not zero.
