There are several forms in which one can write the equation of a line. Have in mind that TWO variables should be included in the equation. These two variables are: x and y.
If you type the equation in a form that looks like:
A x + B y = C
where the A, B, and C are actual numbers (like for example: 3 x - 2 y = 5)
This is the standard form of a line. to recognize it notice that bith variables x an y appear in separate terms on the LEFT of the equal sign., and a pure number (no variables) appears on the right of the equal sign.
Another form of writing the equation of a line is in the so called "solpe-intercept" form. This form looks like:
y = m x + b
Notice that in this case the variable ÿ" appears isolated on the left , and on the right of the equal sign you get a term with the variable x, and another constant (pure number) term (b). Like for example in the case of:
y = 3 x
