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.
For cars made after 1981, the three-way catalytic converter is going to be much more expensive to replace than then older one. Your costs for parts are going to be around $350-$1500, while parts and labor will be between $615-$2,200. Because the costs vary so much, you may want to be sure you ask for a quote before you allow a mechanic to change out your catalytic converter.
