Convert Standard to Slope-Intercept Objective: To convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form.
Convert Standard Slope-Intercept y = mx + b Ax + By = C Steps: 1. Subtract/Add Ax 2. Divide everything by B y = mx + b Ax + By = C
Example 1 Convert the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form: 2x + 3y = 12 -2x -2x 3y = -2x + 12 3 3 3 y = -2x + 4 3 Steps: Subtract Ax Divide everything by B Ax + By = C
Example 2 Convert the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form: 2x – y = -4 -2x -2x -y = -2x – 4 -1 -1 -1 y = 2x + 4 Steps: Subtract Ax Divide everything by B Ax + By = C
