Linear equations: solve for y
Key Notes :
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Learn with an example
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
y-1=1/2(x-10)
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form._________
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
y − 1 = 1/2(x − 10)
y − 1 = 1/2x − 5 Apply the distributive property
y = 1/2x − 4 Add 1 to both sides
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
y − 10 = -10(x + 2)
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.______
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
y − 10 =-10(x + 2)
y − 10 = -10x − 20 Apply the distributive property
y = –10x − 10 Add 10 to both sides
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form.
y-7=1/2(x+6)
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form_______
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
y − 7 = 1/2(x + 6)
y − 7 = 1/2x + 3 Apply the distributive property
y = 1/2x + 10 Add 7 to both sides
let’s practice!
