Converting Point Slope to Standard Form

Standard form looks like this:
Ax + By = C


Example: Express the equation y=5x-10 in standard form. State the values for A, B, and C.

Basically, what you want to do is move all the x and y terms over to one side, and move the constants (terms with no variables) over to the other. Combine and simplify where possible. That's all there is to it. "A" will be the term left over in front of x, "B" will be with y, and C will be the value not attached to a variable.

y=5x-10

10=5x-y

So:
5x-y=10
A=5, B=(-1), C=10
