How can we derive the standard form of the linear equation:
? What do "A", "B" and "C" in the standard form of the linear equation mean? As in the point-slope form of the linear equation:
, m is the slope, and x, y are the coordinates of any point. Likewise,, are the coordinates of the given point.

Let's say we start with the point-slope form ,
where (x,y) represents any point on the line, and represents a given point on the line, and m is the given slope of the line. Now,
Now, we can simply let , which means that
