Linear Equations and Their Forms
- Linear equations can be expressed in the standard form (Ax + By = C).
- Each equation can be rearranged to express (y) as a function of (x) in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
Example Equations and Their Manipulations
-
Equation: (-3x + 2y = 2**
-
Rearranged*: (y = \frac{3}{2} + 1)
-
Equation: (x - 4y = 8**
-
Rearranged*: (y = -\frac{x}{4} - 2)
-
Equation: (2x + y = -3**
-
Rearranged*: (y = 2x - 3)
-
Equation: (2x + 3y = 6**
-
Rearranged*: (y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2)
-
Equation: (3x - y = 1**
-
Rearranged*: (y = 3x - 1)
-
Equation: (-3x - 5y = 10**
-
Rearranged*: (y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 2)
Special Values and Simplifications
-
Equation: (4x + 3y = 0**
-
Rearranged*: (y = -\frac{4}{3}x)
-
Equation: (y - 3 = 0**
-

Important Concepts
- The slope-intercept form highlights the slope ((m)) and y-intercept ((b)) of the linear equation.
- A horizontal line has a constant (y) value, while vertical lines are represented by undefined slope.
- Understanding how to rearrange equations into slope-intercept form is crucial for graphing linear equations.
