<h1>General Form of Equation of a Line</h1>
</center>
<h3 align="center"><br />
The &quot;General Form&quot; of the equation of a straight line is:<br />
<br />
</h3>
<div class="center80">
<p align="center" class="largest">Ax + By + C = 0</p>
</div>
<p>
A or B can be zero, but not both at the same time. </p>
<div align="center"></div>
<p>The General Form is not always the most useful form, and you may prefer to use:</p>
<table border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="larger"><p>The <a href="../equation_of_line.html">Slope-Intercept Form</a> of the equation of a straight line:</p>
<p align="center"><span class="largest">y = mx + b</span></p></td>
<td><img src="images/y-mxpb-graph.svg" width="120" alt="Slope-Intercept Form" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="larger"><div align="center"><i>or</i></div></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="larger"><p>The <a href="line-equation-point-slope.html">Point-Slope Form</a> of the equation of a straight line:</p>
<p align="center"><span class="largest">y &minus; y<sub>1</sub> = m(x &minus; x<sub>1</sub>)</span></p></td>
<td><img src="../data/images/graph-point-slope-a-sm.gif" alt="Point-Slope Form" width="120" height="98" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: Convert 4x &minus; 2y &minus; 5 = 0 to Slope-Intercept Form</h3>
<p>We are heading for:</p>
<p align="center"><span class="large">y = mx + b</span></p>
<div class="tbl">
<div class="row"><span class="left">Start with:</span><span class="right">4x &minus; 2y &minus; 5 = 0</span></div>
<div class="row"><span class="left">Move all except y to the right:</span><span class="right">&minus;2y = &minus;4x + 5</span></div>
<div class="row"><span class="left">Divide all by (&minus;2):</span><span class="right">y = 2x &minus; 5/2</span></div>
</div>
<p>And we are done! (Note: <b>m </b>= 2 and <b>b </b>= &minus;5/2)</p>
</div>
<h2>Why Use It?</h2>
<p>It has the advantage of working well with <b>vertical lines</b>, which the <a href="../equation_of_line.html">Slope-Intercept Form</a> and <a href="line-equation-point-slope.html">Point-Slope Form</a> do not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
