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.
