1. 5.5 a Writing Linear Equations in Standard Form

2. Standard Form
Ax + By = C
E1 3x+2y = 8
A= 3
B= 2
C= 8

3. Standard Form Rules Ax + By = C A cannot be negative
A and B both not zero
A,B, and C are integers (whole numbers)
There can be no GCF

4. Write each equation in Standard Form. Identify A, B, & C.
E2 5x = 10y + 15
E3 3y = 2x

5. Write each equation in Standard Form. Identify A, B, & C.
E5 3y – 6 = x E4

7. The x-intercept is the point where the graph of the line crosses the x-axis.
Plug zero in for y, then solve for x
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis.
Plug zero in for x, then solve for y

8. Find the x and y intercepts
