Graphing Intercepts and Finding Slope from Points

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• x^2 + y^2 = r^2

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

• ax + by = c

How do you find the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 12?

• Set x to 0 and solve for y

• Set both x and y to 0

• Set y to 0 and solve for x

• Set y to 1 and solve for x

What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 12?

• (0, -4)

• (-4, 0)

• (0, 4)

• (6, 0)
