Understanding Linear Equations

What is the first step in writing one variable in terms of another in a linear equation?

• Move all X terms to one side

• Move all Y terms to one side

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

After moving all Y terms to one side, what should be done next?

• Divide both sides by a constant

• Move numbers and X terms to the opposite side

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Add a constant to both sides

What operation is performed to isolate Y completely in the equation?

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Divide all terms by the coefficient of Y

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Add a constant to both sides

How is the negative sign handled when simplifying the term 6X over -7?

• It is ignored

• It is moved in front of the fraction

• It is moved to the numerator

• It is moved to the denominator

What form is the equation in after completing the process?

• Standard form

• Point-slope form

• Slope-intercept form

• Quadratic form
