B16 Putting it together

TWO WAYS TO WRITE EQUATION OF LINES-

1.    Slope y-intercept form (y = mx + b)

2.    Standard form (make eq'n equal zero, x can't be negative and no fractions)

Standard Form of Equations
1.    Write the following equations in Standard Form.
 
a)      2x + y = 6
 
      b) -3x-7-8y=0
 
      c)
 
      d)
 
2.         Find the equtions of the following lines with the given information in Standard Form
a) G(-l,-7) M(2,8)               b) R(-2,-9) U (1, 8)           c) B (5, 6) M (6, 9)
d) K (1, 5) B (-1,11)             e) I (7, 2) S (-2, 2)
      f) Slope = -3 and passes through (-1, 6)         g) Slope =  and passes through (0, 0)
     h) Passes through (2, 6) and slope is            i) Passes through (6,1) and slope is

Slope Y-intercept Form of Equations

3.     Write the following equations in the slope y-intercept form.
 
a) 3x=y+2                 b) 3x+2y=6
c) 5x+3y=15               d) x-4y=20
4.     Go back to question #3 and find the slope and y-intercept of each line. (No need to graph!)
5.     Write the following equations in the slope y-intercept form.
a) x-intercept is -3 and point is (2,10)         b) Point is (6, 3) and x-intercept is 4.
6.     Write the following equations in the slope y-intercept form.
a) y-intercept is 3 and slope is -2.              b) x-intercept is -5 and y-intercept is -5.
