Question

Tell which form the following linear equation is written in: y = 2x + 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope-intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways of writing a linear equation: slope-intercept form, point-slope form and standard form. Below is what the following looks like:

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$

Point-slope form: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Standard form: $Ax+By+C=0$

Comparing y=2x+5 to the above, we can identify that it was written in slope-intercept form.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

So the problem "y=2x+5" is in standard form and no modification is necessary. For a parabolic equation, the standard form is y = a(x - h)^2 + k, from which direction (polarity of "a") and axis of symmetry (value of "h"), etc. may be determined by inspection.
