Graphing linear equations
Why would I do standard form on y=2x+4 but have to do slope intercept form on y= -1/2x - 5

To ensure uniformity on an exam

Or

To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:

Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is

The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

This is already in slope-intercept form:

The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.

Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.

You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.

so what is the question

step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
