Converting Standard Form to Slope Intercept Form

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

• Solve for y

• Find the y-intercept

• Identify the slope

• Isolate the x variable

In the equation 2x + y = -7, what operation is performed to both sides to isolate y?

• Divide by 2

• Multiply by 2

• Add 2x

• Subtract 2x

When dividing both sides by 6 in the equation 3x + 6y = 12, what is a common mistake?

• Ignoring the x term

• Dividing the x coefficient by 6

• Forgetting to apply the distributive property

• Only dividing the constant term by 6

How can the fraction -3x/6 be simplified?

• -1/2x

• -2x

• -3/6x

• -x/2

What is the slope in the equation y = -1/2x + 2?

• -2

• 1/2

• -1/2

• 2

In the equation x - 3y = 1, what is the correct interpretation of the operation on y?

• Multiplying by -3

• Adding 3

• Dividing by 3

• Subtracting 3

How is the equation with fractions -1/2x + 4/3y = 5 converted to slope-intercept form?

• Multiplying by the least common multiple

• Adding fractions to both sides

• By dividing by the least common denominator

• Subtracting fractions from both sides
