Forms of Linear Equations

Key Questions

  • How do you write linear equations in Standard form?

    The standard form of a linear equation is: color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)

    Where, if at all possible, color(red)(A), color(blue)(B), and color(green)(C)are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

    The slope of an equation in standard form is: m = -color(red)(A)/color(blue)(B)

    The y-intercept of an equation in standard form is: color(green)(C)/color(blue)(B)

  • How many forms of linear equations are there?

    Answer:

    I have heard of four

    Explanation:

    Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

    Standard form: ax+by=c

    Point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point on the line

    Intercept form: x/a+y/b=1, where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept
