Algebra Lesson 2.9: Writing Linear Equations in Standard Form

Practice Exercises

Rewrite the following equations in standard form

1. $-2x + y = 7$

2. $\frac{1}{3}x + 2y = \frac{4}{3}$

3. $-\frac{7}{4}x - 2y = \frac{1}{8}x$

The following equations are given in slope-intercept form. Rewrite them in standard form

4. $y = -2x + 2$

5. $y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1$

6. $y = 6x + 5$

Use the following graph to answer Exercises 7-9

7. Write the equation of the line passing through points A and B in point-slope form (review how to do this). Then rewrite the equation in standard form.

8. Write the equation of the line passing through points B and C in point-slope form. Then rewrite the equation in standard form.
