The Standard Form of a Linear Equation allows you to quickly find the x- and y-intercepts of the line. RECALL To find the x-intercept, y = 0. To find the y-intercept, x = 0. Find the x- and y-intercepts of each line. X-INTERCEPT Y-INTERCEPT
Find the x- and y-intercepts of each line. X-INTERCEPT Y-INTERCEPT X-INTERCEPT Y-INTERCEPT
Use x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation An equation can also be graphed using the x- and y-intercepts of the equation. To find the x-intercept let y = 0. Plot the ordered pairs and connect them with a line. To find the y-intercept let x = 0.
You can transform linear equations from one form to another. You can write a linear equation in slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard forms. The chart below summarizes the forms of a linear equation.
Rewrite each equation in the given form. Write in Standard. Write in Standard.
Rewrite each equation in the given form. Write in slope-int. Write in slope-int.
All the points on the graph of a linear equation are solutions of the equation. Each point on the line is an ordered pair that makes the equation true. To determine if a point is on the graph of a line, substitute its coordinates into the equation of the line. If the result is a true statement, the point is on the line.
You can determine the coordinates of a point on a line if you know one coordinateof the point and the equation of the line. Find the value of y, so that the given point lies on the given line.
