Converting Standard to Slope Intercept Form

Miss Elizondo guides students through converting equations from standard form to slope-intercept form. The lesson includes three examples, demonstrating step-by-step processes and different methods for conversion. Students are encouraged to prepare materials, take notes, and upload their work to Schoology. The video emphasizes understanding the differences between the forms and the importance of isolating the y variable.

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

• To eliminate all variables

• To isolate the x variable

• To combine like terms

• To isolate the y variable

Why might we choose to reduce the coefficients in a standard form equation before converting it?

• To find the x-intercept

• To increase the equation's complexity

• To change the equation's slope

• To simplify the calculation

What is the result of dividing every term in the equation 2x + 4y = 12 by 2?

• 2x + y = 12

• 2x + 4y = 6

• x + 2y = 6

• x + y = 6
