Question

How do i graph the lines when the equations aren’t in slope intercept form????

Answer 1

Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b

Standard Form: ax+by=c

Point- Slope: (y-y1)= m(x-x1)

There are multiple answers to your question-

1. If you are only missing b(the y-intercept) but are given a set of points, plug the points into x and y and solve for b.
2. If you are only missing the slope(m) but are given a set of points, plug the points into x and y and solve for m.
3. If you are given the standard form/point-slope form, change the equation to slope intercept form.
4. If you are given an complete form(there is an x and y; no missing variables), but are not sure what it is, plug in some numbers in x to find y, then graph.
