Algebra 1 - Solving Linear Equations

Slope in Standard Form

a/b - a over b

Infinite Solution

Any value for the variable makes the equation true. Ex: 2x+6(2)=2(6)+2x

Standard Form of Linear Equation

Ax+By=C

No Solution

There is no value for the variable that makes the equation true. Ex: 2≠3

X-Intercept in Standard Form

c/a - c over a gets the x-intercept

Y-Intercept in Standard Form

c/b - c over b gets the y-intercept

Factored Form of a Linear Equation

y=a(x-c)

General Form of Linear Equation

y=mx+b or f(x)=ax+b
