Converting Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form

The lesson reviews converting linear equations from standard form to slope-intercept form. It includes detailed steps and examples, emphasizing the importance of isolating the y variable and simplifying fractions. The lesson also covers graphing the converted equations, highlighting the slope and y-intercept. Students are encouraged to practice independently and complete a homework assignment.

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

• Divide the coefficient of y

• Add or subtract the x term to the other side

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient of x

• Simplify the constant term
