Converting Standard Form to Slope Intercept Form

Why is it important to convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form when graphing?

• To eliminate fractions

• To simplify the equation

• To easily identify the Y-intercept and slope

• To easily identify the X-intercept

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• y = ax + b

• ax + by = c

• y = mx + b

• ax + by = m

In the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

• The constant term

• The X-intercept

• The slope

• The Y-intercept

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

• Divide by the coefficient of Y

• Move the X term to the other side using inverse operations

• Combine like terms

• Simplify the fractions

If the X term in the standard form equation is negative, what should you do?

• Subtract it from both sides

• Add it to both sides

• Multiply it by -1

• Divide it by -1

In the equation 3x + 6y = 18, what is the next step after moving the X term to the other side?

• Divide everything by 6

• Combine like terms

• Add 3x to both sides

• Subtract 18 from both sides

What is the simplified form of the slope in the equation y = -3/6x + 3?

• -1/2

• -3

• 1/2

• 3/6

In the equation -4x + 10y = 50, what is the slope after converting to slope-intercept form?

• 2/5

• -4/10

• -2/5

• 4/10

What is the Y-intercept in the equation y = 2/5x - 5?

• 2/5

• -5

• -2/5

• 5

In the equation -2x - 8y = -30, what should you divide by to isolate Y?

• -2

• 8

• 2

• -8
