Graphing and Writing Equations in Standard Form

2. Standard Form
To graph a linear equation in standard form, plot the x- and y-intercepts and then connect them with a line.

3. Example 1
Graph 6x – 4y = 36 and label the x- and y-intercepts.

4. Example 2
Graph 5x – 2y = 13 and label the x- and y-intercepts.

5. Example 3
Write two equations in standard form that are equivalent to the given equation.
8x – 14y = 2

6. Example 4
Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m.
(5, -1), m = 2

7. Example 5
Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m.
(-15, -4), m =

8. Example 6
Write an equation in standard form that passes through the given points.
(-1, 2), (5, 4)

9. Example 7
Write equations of the horizontal and vertical lines that pass through the point (-2, 6).
