What are the three forms of a linear equation?
1. Slope-intercept form (most commonly used in graphing) y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept 2. Standard form ax+by=c 3. Point slope form (most commonly used for finding linear equations) y-y1=m(x-x1) m=slope one point on the graph must be (x1,y1)
When writing linear equations how do you determine which form of a line to use?
It does not matter because they are equivalent. You can always convert from a slope-intercept form to a standard linear form (and vice versa).
What are the different ways of graphing linear equations in two variables?
slope intercept form, rise over run
Where the given equations are not linear?
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
What is the point slope form of an equation?
Point-slope form is just another way to express a linear equation. It uses two (any two points that fall on the line) and the slope of the line (Therefore the name point-slope form).y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1)...with m as the slope.
