Mr. Witt from Fort Bend Tutoring explains how to write linear equations in standard form. The tutorial covers the standard form equation, its conditions, and how to convert from slope-intercept and point-slope forms. Examples demonstrate converting equations and finding parallel and perpendicular lines. The video concludes with a request for feedback and subscription.

What is the general representation of a linear equation in standard form?

• ax^2 + bx + c = 0

• y = mx + b

• ax + by = c

• y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Which of the following is NOT a condition for a linear equation to be in standard form?

• No fractions or decimals in the equation

• The 'a' coefficient must be positive

• The GCF of coefficients should be greater than 1

• Coefficients must be integers

In the standard form of a linear equation, what must be true about the 'a' coefficient?

• It can be any real number

• It must be a negative integer

• It must be positive or zero

• It must be a fraction

How do you convert the equation y = mx + b to standard form?

• Add 'mx' to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 'm'

• Subtract 'mx' from both sides

• Subtract 'b' from both sides

What is the first step in converting y - 3 = 2(x - 1) to standard form?

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Distribute 2 on the right side

• Add 3 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

When converting an equation to standard form, what should you do if the 'a' coefficient is negative?

• Leave it as it is

• Subtract 1 from all terms

• Add 1 to all terms

• Multiply or divide all terms by -1

What is the standard form of the equation 2y = 3x - 7?

• 3x - 2y = 7

• 3x + 2y = 7

• -3x + 2y = -7

• 3x - 2y = -7

How do you handle fractions when converting to standard form?

• Multiply all terms by the common denominator

• Add the fractions together

• Convert them to decimals

• Leave them as they are

What is the slope of a line parallel to y = 1/3x + 4?

• 3

• -1/3

• -3

• 1/3
