 Lesson Rewriting a Linear Equation
1
What I Need to Know

Linear equations play an important role in our lives. A lot of things around us
form a straight-line pattern. Imagine the dotted figure below as the stairway steps in
going up the lighthouse. What would happen to you if these steps were not equally
distanced?

These steps represent points on the Cartesian coordinate plane whose

coordinates are (−3 ,−2),(−2 ,−1),(−1,0) ,(0,1),(1,2) and (2,3). We can say that
the second coordinate ( y ) is one unit more than the first coordinate ( x ) and can be
represented by the equation y=x +1.
When these points are connected, you will form a straight line. We can now
say that the graph of a linear equation in two variables is a straight line.
Aside from the sets of ordered pairs and the graph, a linear function f defined
by f (x)=mx+b can also be represented by its equation.

What Is It

An equation of the form Ax+ By=C can be written in the form y=mx+b is a
linear equation in two variables.
The linear equation x – y=−1 is in the form Ax+ By=C . You can write this in
the form y=mx+b as y=x +1.
Standard Form: Ax+ By=C , where A , B ,∧C ∈ R , A∧B are not both 0;
And
Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b , where m is the slope and b is the
y-intercept, m and b ∈ R .
