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

How do you handle a negative sign in front of a fraction in point-slope form?

• Put it with the top number

• Convert it to a positive sign

• Put it with the bottom number

• Ignore it

What is the result of 4/3 minus 1?

• 1/3

• 2/3

• 4/3

• 3/3

What is the next step after obtaining y = -1/3x + 1/3?

• Add 1/3x to both sides

• Subtract 1/3 from both sides

• Multiply by 3

• Divide by 3

What should you check for after getting x and y on the same side?

• If x is positive and there are no fractions

• If y is positive and there are no fractions

• If x is negative and there are fractions

• If y is negative and there are fractions

How do you eliminate fractions in the equation?

• Divide by the numerator

• Multiply by the denominator

• Add the fractions

• Subtract the fractions

What is the final standard form of the equation in the tutorial?

• x + 3y = 1

• x + y = 1

• 3x + 3y = 1

• 3x + y = 1
