Standard form comes in the form of Ax + By = C. In this form, you can easily get the Y intercept and the X intercept. If you want to get the Y intercept, just set x to 0 and solve for Y. And vice versa. If you want to get the slope of the line, one must convert the Standard form formula into the slope intercept form.

Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily. 103 = 1000, so 4 × 103 = 4000 . So 4000 can be written as 4 × 10³ . This idea can be used to write even larger numbers down easily in standard form.
