Converting Linear Equations Forms

The video tutorial demonstrates how to convert equations from point slope form to slope intercept form and then to standard form. It begins with an introduction to the different forms and provides a step-by-step guide to rearranging the equations. The process involves using the distributive property and moving terms to isolate variables, ultimately achieving the desired form.

What is the primary goal when converting from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

• To isolate the y-variable

• To add parentheses

• To change the slope

• To eliminate the x-variable

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

• Add the slope to both sides

• Distribute any constants

• Isolate the x-variable

• Combine like terms

Which property is used to remove parentheses in an equation?

• Associative Property

• Commutative Property

• Identity Property

• Distributive Property

What is the result of distributing -2 in the equation y - 3 = -2(x + 4)?

• y - 3 = 2x - 8

• y - 3 = 2x + 8

• y - 3 = -2x - 8

• y - 3 = -2x + 8

After distributing, what is the next step to isolate y in the equation y - 3 = -2x - 8?

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Add 3 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

• Multiply both sides by 3

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation y - 3 = -2(x + 4)?

• y = -2x - 5

• y = -2x + 5

• y = 2x + 5

• y = 2x - 5

Which form of a linear equation is represented by y = mx + b?

• Point-slope form

• Slope-intercept form

• Standard form

• Quadratic form
