Rewrite a line from standard form Ax + By = C into the friendlier slope-intercept form.

The math behind it

Solve for y: By = C − Ax, so y = (−A/B)x + (C/B). Thus m = −A/B and b = C/B.

Worked Example

2x + 3y = 6 → y = −⅔x + 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if B = 0?

The line is vertical (x = C/A) and has no slope-intercept form.
