Converting Standard Form to Slope-Intercept
Linear equations can be written in different forms. One
form is called Standard Form of a linear equation.
The Standard Form of a linear equation:
*Where A, B, and C are integers
What are the differences between standard form and slopeintercept form?
Slope-Intercept Form
Standard Form
Example 1: Convert 6x + 2y = 14 to slope-intercept form.
Identify the slope and y-intercept.
Example 4: Write the following in slope-intercept form and
graph it on the coordinate plane.
x + 2y – 10 = 0
Slope: ____________
y-intercept: ________________
Example 2: Convert x – 5y = 10 to slope-intercept form.
Identify the slope and y-intercept.
Example 5: Write the following in slope-intercept form and
graph it on the coordinate plane.
Slope: ____________
y-intercept: ________________
Example 3: Convert 5x – y = -8 to slope-intercept form.
Identify the slope and y-intercept.
Slope: ____________
y-intercept: ________________
3x – 4y = -12
