However, if we look at the standard form of a linear equation, Ax + By = C and we move the Ax term to the other side By =  A x + C and we divide both sides by B, assuming B is not zero, we get y = ( A/B) x + C/B which is the slope-intercept form.ind the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x+4y=17 and that contains the point (2,8). The usual approach to this problem is to find the slope of the given line and then to use that slope along with the given point in the point-slope form for a linear equation.
1 CarMD.com names replacing a catalytic converter as the third most common car repair related to a check engine warning light, and estimates the average cost for parts and labor at $1,029. This raises the total price for parts and labor to $175-$850 or more. 2  For example, JC Whitney charges $186 for the aftermarket Bosal 49-state Legal Catalytic Converter (not legal in California) for a 1998 Chevrolet S10.
Because catalytic converters can be expensive to replace, some car owners cut corners and rig the exhaust system so that their car functions without one. When it comes to catalytic converter repair cost estimates, many car owners balk at the price. Repairing or replacing a catalytic converter can cost close to $2,000. In order to properly filter hydrocarbons and reduce your car's emissions, catalytic converters use precious metals such as platinum or palladium. These are expensive for mechanics to purchase, resulting in a higher repair cost.
