Standard to Slope-Intercept

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

What is slope-intercept form?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you convert from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y in terms of x.

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.
