There are a few different standard forms for a line, let's assume we're after



ax + by = c


Let's write



\frac 3{10} x - y = -3


That's already in standard form and we could stop. Or we could multiply by 10.



3 x - 10 y = -30


We can bring the constant to the same side; some people prefer that as standard form:



3x - 10 y + 30 = 0


There's also slope intercept form,



y = \frac 3 {10} x + 3


Plenty more forms where these comes from.
