More on Standard Form and Slope Intercept Forms of Linear Equations

We reviewed the standard form of a linear equation, and how to convert equations including decimals and fractions to equations with integer coefficients. We then looked at a variety of equations, and determined that the constant determines the y-intercept.
This led us to the Slope-Intercept form of an equation, which looks like this:

y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope (or rate of change) of the line.
