What is the main goal of this tutorial?

• To understand the properties of logarithms

• To practice converting linear equations from standard form to slope-intercept form

• To learn about polynomial functions

• To practice solving quadratic equations

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

• Divide both sides by the coefficient of y

• Add the c term to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient of x

• Move the x term to the other side of the equation

When moving a term to the other side of the equation, how should it be written?

• As its square

• As its reciprocal

• As its opposite

• As its absolute value

In the equation 3x - 2y = -16, what is the coefficient of y after dividing both sides by -2?

• 1

• 2

• -1

• -2

What is the slope of the equation 3x - 2y = -16 after converting to slope-intercept form?

• 2/3

• -3/2

• 3/2

• -2/3

What is the y-intercept of the equation 3x - 2y = -16 after converting to slope-intercept form?

• 16

• -16

In the equation 6x + 5y = -15, what is the coefficient of x after moving it to the other side?

• -5

• 5

• -6

• 6

What is the slope of the equation 6x + 5y = -15 after converting to slope-intercept form?

• 5/6

• -5/6

• 6/5
