LINEAR
EQUATION
Equation in which the
highest degree of the
variable is always 1.
STANDARD
FORMform:
Linear Equation in the
Ax+ By=C
Where A,B and C are
real numbers
SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
Linear Equation in the
form:
y = mx + b
Where “m” is the slope and
“b” is the y-intercept

Simplification
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1.Standard form is Ax +By=C
2.Slope Intercept form is y=mx+ b
3.In rewriting linear equation into Standard form and
Slope Intercept form or vice versa we must keep in
mind the Addition Property of Equality (APE) and
the Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE)
Rewrite the following linear equations in
the form
Y=mx + b or in the form Ax + By=C
1. 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7
2. 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 5
3. 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 12
4. 𝑦 = 3𝑥– 4
5. 𝑦 = 3/ 4 𝑥 + 3
