Day 1
SECTION 5.5a
The equation y  2 x  3
is written _______________
slope intercept form.
y  2 x  3
2x
2x  y  3
If we move “  2x ” to the other side of the equation,

2x  y  3
we have _______________________.
If we move “  2x ” to the other side of the equation,
2x  y  3
we have _______________________.
This is still a ________

linear equation, but it is written
in a different form.
Ax  By  C
A linear equation in the form _______________
is in ______________,
standard form where A, B, and C are
integers.
Ax  By  C

Example 1:
A. Jackie is in charge of selling tickets for the school jazz concert at
$2.00 for students and $4.00 for adults. She hopes that the
total ticket sales will be about $600 in order to cover expenses
and make a modest profit.
Write a linear equation in standard form to model this situation.
Let x # student tickets $2.00

y # adult tickets $4.00
2.00 x  4.00 y  600

2 x  4 y  600
B. A donation of $300 was make to the Classical Music Club for the
purpose of building their collection of CDs. At the local music
store, some classical CDs cost $10 and other cost $15. The club
wants to know how many of each type can buy with the $300.
(Do not consider sales tax.)
Write an equation in standard form to model this situation.
Let x # classical CDs $10.00

y # other CDs $15.00
10.00 x  15.00 y  300

10 x  15 y  300
Example 2: Tell whether the equations below are in standard form.
A 5 y  2  4x NO
x-term + y-term = constant
B 4 x  2 y  2 YES No fractions, no decimals !

If an equation is not written in standard form, we can
rewrite the equation so that it is in standard form.
