Standard form of a linear equation worksheet
Standard form is Ax + By = C with whole-number coefficients, A positive, and nothing left to cancel. Easy converts from slope-intercept form, which means clearing the fraction and moving the x term across. Medium starts from a point and a slope, hard from two points.

How to do these
Write in standard form
- Multiply everything by 3: 3y = 2x - 3.
- Move the x term across: -2x + 3y = -3.
- A has to be positive, so multiply through by -1.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Leaving A negative, or leaving a fraction in. Both describe the same line, but neither is standard form, and neither will match a key.
Also called standard form, Ax + By = C or converting slope-intercept to standard form.
