Key concepts students will learn:

  • To convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, you must isolate the y value.

  • The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

  • When converting from slope-intercept form to standard form, eliminate fractions by multiplying all terms by the least common multiple of the denominators, and ensure the coefficient of x is positive.
