Converting Point-Slope to Standard Form

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• y = mx + b

• x = my + b

• y = ax + c

• ax + by = c

What form should you start with when writing an equation of a line?

• Point-slope form

• Quadratic form

• Slope-intercept form

• Standard form

In point-slope form, what does the 'm' represent?

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The x-intercept

• The constant term

What is the first step in converting point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

• Subtract the y-intercept

• Distribute the slope

• Add the slope to both sides

• Multiply by the denominator
