MODULE 6.1
WRITING THE LINEAR EQUATION + = IN THE
FORM AND VICE VERSA = +

I. Introduction

This module is about linear equations in two variables which can be written in two forms: the
Standard Form: + = where A, B and C ∈ ℝ, ≠ 0, and ≠ 0; and the Slope-intercept Form: = + where is the
slope and is the -intercept, and ∈ ℝ, and ≠ 0.

II. Objective:
• writes the linear equation + = in the form = + and vice versa.

III. Vocabulary List:

1. Addition Property of Equality – If , , and are real numbers and = , then + = + .

2. Linear Equation – is an equation whose variables are to the first

degree of exponents; if in two variables, can be written in either standard form or
slope-intercept form.
3. Multiplication Property of Equality – If , , and are real numbers and = , then = .
4. Slope-Intercept Form – the linear equation in the form = + , where is the slope and is the
-intercept, and and are real numbers.
5. Standard Form – the linear equation in the form + = , where A, B and C are real numbers and A and B not both zero.

IV. Pre-Test
Tell whether each of given equations is written in standard form or
in slope-intercept form.

V. Learning Activities: Learning Situation 1:
How do we rewrite the equation 3 – 5 = 10 in the form
= + ? Determine its slope and -intercept.

Given the equation above, how are you going to rewrite it in

slope intercept form? What steps and properties of equality are you
going to use in transforming equations from standard form to slope-
intercept form?

I have here an example for you, try to take note the steps so
that you will be ready for the succeeding activities.

SOLUTION:

3 – 5 = 10
Given
3 – 5 + (−3 ) = 10 + (−3 ) Addition Property of Equality
−5 = −3 + 10 Simplification

− (−5 ) = − (−3 + 10) Multiplication Property of Equality

=5 −2

If the equation is written in slope-intercept form = + , the slope is represented by

and the y-intercept is represented by , and both and are elements of real numbers.

Therefore, in our example, the slope ( ) is 5 and the - intercept ( ) is −2.

Learning Situation 2:
How do we rewrite the equation + = ?
1
= 2 + 3 in the form

You have learned how to transform an equation from the standard form + = to slope intercept form = + .
Now can you do the reverse of it? How are you going to rewrite a linear

2
 equation from slope-intercept form to its standard form? What steps
and properties of equality are you going to use?

Here is an example for you:

SOLUTION:
=12 +3
2( ) = 2 (12 + 3)
2 =
2 + (− ) =
− +2 =6

+ 6 + (− ) Given
(−1)(− + 2 ) = (−1)(6)

Remember that an equation of the form + = which can be written in the form = + is a linear
equation in two variables.
