# Point Slope Form to Standard Form

How to convert?

It is a common to ask to have to convert equation of line from point slope form to standard form.

### Example of Converting from Point Slope to Standard Form

Step 1

Distribute 'm' or the slope to x −x1

Step 2

Move y1 to the other side by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation and simplify

Step 3

"Move" the x term to the other side by adding its opposite to both sides
