This is how you change slope-intercept to standard form.

y=ax+b

subtract (ax) from both sides

-ax+y=b

Make sure the coefficient of x is positive by multiplying through by -1.

If "a" is a fraction then multiply through by the denominator.

Example:

y=1/2 x +5

-1/2 x + y=5

1/2 x - y=-5

x-2y=-10

Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?

You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.


Is the point slope equation the same as the point slope intercept form?

no it is different

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point 50 and is perpendicular to the line 5x 6y24 express your answer in slope-intercept form?

Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.

Point intercept form?

Point intercept form is the almighty form that governs all equations in mathematics involving the variables "X" and "Y", when "X" refers to the independent variable and "Y" refers to the dependent variable. It is the mother of all forms, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end...... But seriously, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE POINT-INTERCEPT FORM!!!! There IS point-slope form as well as slope-intercept form, but NO point-intercept form.
