Converting Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• x/a + y/b = 1

• ax + by = c

• y = mx + b

• ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Which components must be integers in the standard form of a linear equation?

• m and b

• None of the above

• a, b, and c

• x and y

Why can't fractions be used in the coefficients of the standard form?

• They change the equation to slope-intercept form

• They make the equation non-linear

• Standard form requires integer coefficients

• Fractions are not allowed in any linear equations
