Choose the correct name for each form of linear equation.
Y = mx + b
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Ax + By = C
Answer answer
Standard form
Slope-intercept form
Point-slope form
The correct names for each form of the linear equation are:
Y = mx + b
- This is the slope-intercept form of a line, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
- This is the point-slope form of a line, which uses the slope 'm' and a specific point (x1, y1) on the line to define its equation.
Ax + By = C
- This is the standard form of a linear equation, where 'A,' 'B,' and 'C' are integers, and 'A' and 'B' are not both zero.
