$y = m x - 7$

Step 1

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Step 1.1

Subtract $m x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y - m x = - 7$

Step 1.2

Reorder $y$ and $- m x$ .

$- m x + y = - 7$

Step 2

Flip the sign on each term of the equation so the term on the right side is positive.

$m x - y = 7$

Step 3

Divide each term by $7$ to make the right side equal to one.

$\frac{m x}{7} - \frac{y}{7} = \frac{7}{7}$

Step 4

Simplify each term in the equation in order to set the right side equal to $1$ . The standard form of an ellipse or hyperbola requires the right side of the equation be $1$ .

$\frac{m x}{7} - \frac{y}{7} = 1$
