For a complete lesson on standard form of a line, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn the definition of standard form, which is Ax + By = C form, where A, B, and C are integers, and A must be positive. For example, 2x - 5y = 10 is in standard form. Students also learn to write the equation of a line in standard form, given the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, the slope and y-intercept of the line, or the graph of the line.

why are all the good teachers on youtube and the dumb ones on the classroom

[HaggisMcklumzy]

My God.... This is so helpful. I guess it's easier to learn at eight at night than eight in the morning.... with no coffee.

@luisrock2008 Because in the classroom you can't focus on the teacher you instead talk too much to your classmates instead of paying attention?

What if you dont have a fraction?

[SuperFunnyDays]

@TheGrcnn

Because the bottom denominator of 2/3 is 3.

So in order to get rid of the fraction you have to muliply each side by the denominator.

[TheGrcnn]

Yeah I got it now you need to get the reciprocal he didn't explain it though

@luisrock2008 IN....not on

[jhoncena9111]

@TheGrcnn to get rid of the fraction: 2/3

[erbr44]

@TheGrcnn because to get rid of the denominator you need to multipy both sides by it.

[TheGrcnn]

why would you multiply by 3
