Standard Form of the Equation of a Line

LT 4.8: Write equations of lines in standard form LT 4.9: Graph lines in standard form

What are the 3 types of equations of lines? 1. 2. 3.

What is standard form?

Ex. Write the equation of the line in standard form. a. through (1, 1) and (2, -2)

b. through (3, -1) and (2, -3)

c. through (3, 7) and (3, -1)

d. through (-1, 5) and (3, 5)

Graphing lines in Standard Form 1. Find the x-intercept

Ex. 3x + y = 6

2. Find the y-intercept

3. Plot the points on a graph

4. Draw the line

Ex. Graph each line. a. 5x + 2y = 10 b. -3x y = 6 c. 2x + 4y = 7
