Assignment
Application
• Seth is reading a book for a book report. He decides to avoid a last minute rush by reading 2 chapters each day. A graph representing his plan is shown at the right. By the end of the first day, Seth should have read 2 chapters, so one point on the graph has coordinates of (1, 2). Since he plans to read 2 chapters in 1 day, the slope is 2/1 or 2.

This linear equation is said to be in point-slope form.
Point-Slope Form
• For a given point (x1, y1) on a non-vertical line with slope m, the point-slope form of a linear equation is as follows:
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
In general, you can write an equation in point-slope form for the graph of any non-vertical line. If you know the slope of a line and the coordinates of one point on the line, you can write an equation of the line.
Ex. 1: Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line passing through (2, -4) and having a slope of 2/3.
y – y1 = m(x – x1)

Standard Form
• Any linear equation can be expressed in the form Ax + By = C where A, B, and C are integers and A and B are not both zero. This is called standard form. An equation that is written in point-slope form can be written in standard form.
• Rules for Standard Form:• Standard form is Ax + By = C, with the following
conditions:1) No fractions2) A is not negative (it can be zero, but it can't be negative).
By the way, "integer" means no fractions, no decimals. Just clean whole numbers (or their negatives).
Ex. 2: Write in standard form. )2(4
34 xy
)2(4
34 xy
4(y + 4) = 3(x – 2)
4y + 16 = 3x – 6)
Given
Multiply by 4 to get rid of the fraction.
Distributive property
4y = 3x – 22
4y – 3x= – 22
– 3x + 4y = – 22
3x – 4y = 22
Subtract 16 from both sides
Subtract 3x from both sides
Format x before y
Multiply by -1 in order to get a positive coefficient for x.
Ex. 3: Write the standard form of an equation of the line passing through (5, 4), -2/3
)5(3
24 xy
3(y - 4) = -2(x – 5)
3y – 12 = -2x +10
Given
Multiply by 3 to get rid of the fraction.
Distributive property
3y = -2x +22
3y + 2x= 22
2x + 3y = 22
Add 12 to both sides
Add 2x to both sides
Format x before y
Ex. 4: Write the standard form of an equation of the line passing through (-6, -3), -1/2
)6(2
13 xy
2(y +3) = -1(x +6)
2y + 6 = -1x – 6
Given
Multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction.
Distributive property
2y = -1x – 12
2y + 1x= -12
x + 2y = -12
Subtract 6 from both sides
Subtract 1x from both sides
Format x before y

Substitute values and solve for m.
Put into point-slope form for conversion into Standard Form Ax + By = C
y – 4 = -1x + 5
y = -1x + 9
y + x = 9
x + y = 9
Distributive property
Add 4 to both sides.
Add 1x to both sides
Standard form requires x come before y.

Put into point-slope form for conversion into Standard Form Ax + By = C
11y – 11 = -3x – 15
11y = -3x – 4
11y + 3x = -4
3x + 11y = -4
Distributive property
Add 4 to both sides.
Add 1x to both sides
Standard form requires x come before y.
11(y – 1) = -3(x + 5) Multiply by 11 to get rid of fraction
