This week one thing we learned was general form, general form is a ‘pretty’ way to set up an equation but not the most helpful.  General form always =0 and the rest of the numbers are all integers.  General form starts with the X value followed by the Y, then the tens. (example: 2x-3y+12=0) *the starting X value is always positive*

An example would be seeing an equation such as y=4x+10, this in general form would look like 0+4x-y+10, All I did was organize it so Xs were first followed by Y then the tens and all equaled 0.
