What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

Given the equation 5x - y = 16, solve for y.

Back

y = 5x - 16

Front

Given the equation 2x + y = 41, solve for y.

Back

y = -2x + 41

Front

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

Given the equation y + 2 = 3x, solve for y.

Back

y = 3x - 2

Front

Given the equation x + 2y = 10, solve for y.

Back

y = -1/2x + 5

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3x - 2?

Back

The y-intercept is -2, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
