Standard Form

Standard form is another way to show the same information as slope-intercept form. It is shown as

being the y-intercept and

being the slope.

The y-intercept is at (0,3) making it 3. The slope is

or 1. Put -1 in place of

and 3 in place of

. The reason you put -1 in place of

instead of 1 is because when you change the equation to slope-intercept form, you would take -1

to the other side of the equation and change the sign during the process.
