1. Standard form : ax + by = c

Equation

(x/a) + (y/b) = 1

let a: x-intercept

let b: y-intercept

(x/3) + (y/6) = 1

y has a denominator or 6, multiply to remove the denominator

(6x/3) + (6y/6) = 6, simplify

Answer: 2x + y = 6

2. Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

(x/8)+(y/4) = 1

LCD of 8 and 4 is 8, multiply by 8 to remove denominator

x + 2y = 8

convert to slope intercept form

2y = x + 8

Answer: y = -(1/2)x + 8
