Writing Equations of Lines in Standard Form, Ax + By = C
Standard Form Equations of a Line is Ax + By = C
The standard form equation of a line is given by Ax + By = C,
where A, B, and C are integers and A and B are not both zero.
**** No fractions or decimals.
**** x and y on same side of equation.
1. Circle the equations below that are written in standard form and underline the equations that are written in
slope intercept form.
3
𝑥 − 5𝑦 = 10
3x + 2y = 6
8x – 9y = 12
y = 3x – 5
10 = 6x – 9y
7y – 5x = 2
2x + 3y + 5 = 0
𝑦 = −3𝑥 − 4
6x = 10
3y = 12
10 = -8x + 2y
y = 6 – 3x
2. Write each equation in standard form.
y = 2x – 5

3. Write the equation of the line in standard form that has a slope of 3 and passes through (0, 5)
4. Write the equation of the line in standard form that has a slope of 2 and passes through (4, 8).
