Converting Standard to Slope-Intercept Form

What is the standard form of an equation?

• ax + by = c

• y = mx + b

• x = my + b

• a + bx = c

In the standard form of an equation, what are the characteristics of the coefficients a, b, and c?

• They are all fractions.

• They are all integers.

• They are all positive numbers.

• They are all negative numbers.

What is the first step to convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

• Add the X term to both sides.

• Multiply the X term by both sides.

• Subtract the X term from both sides.

• Divide the X term by both sides.

After moving the X term, what is the next step to isolate the Y term?

• Divide each term by the coefficient of Y.

• Subtract the coefficient of Y from both sides.

• Add the coefficient of Y to both sides.

• Multiply each term by the coefficient of Y.

What operation is performed to get rid of the coefficient of Y?

• Addition

• Division

• Subtraction

• Multiplication
