Exploring Standard Form of Linear Equations

The video tutorial covers the standard form of linear equations, focusing on the equation ax + by = c. It explains how to solve word problems using this form, such as determining the possible combinations of green and red grapes that can be bought with a fixed amount of money. The tutorial also demonstrates graphing equations using x and y intercepts, providing examples and practice problems. Additionally, it includes a word problem involving a football team's scoring to illustrate the application of intercepts in real-world scenarios.

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• Ax + By = C

• y - y1 = m(x - x1)

• Ax - By = C

• y = mx + b
