Part II: Create Your Own Conversion Problem
Now it’s time for you to create your own problem that involves converting three different
equations of lines to different forms. First, write three (3) equations of lines in the following
forms: a) point-slope form, b) slope-intercept form, and c) standard form. Next, choose
another form to write each equation in, and then show all the steps required to convert each
equation to the other form.

Answer 1

Do you know what point slope, slope intercept, and standard form are?

Answer 2

yes i can put the ones i whant to convert in here if you want

Answer 3

I guess. I don't understand what you need help on. Write all of your equations then convert them to some other form.

Answer 4

yea i need help with converting them and showing all the steps.

Answer 5

y=-1/2x + 4 to point slope form
8x + 2y =6 to slope intercept form
y - 2 = 4 (x + 1) to standard form

Answer 6

ok slope intercept is y=mx+b
point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
standard is mx+y=b

Answer 7

ok but i have to convert the numbers over to

Answer 8

To convert y = 1/2x+4 to point slope form first pick a random number for x.
I'll chose 0 to make things easy. Plug it into the formula to get y = 1/2 * 0 + 4
thus y = 4
now plug y=4 into the original formula
4 = 1/2 x +4
x = 2
Now use these in the point slope form along with m = -1/2
y - 4 = -1/2 (x - 2)

Answer 9

so m =-1/2 y - 4 = -1/2 (x -2) is the answer for y=-1/2x + 4

Answer 10

Yeah its just y - 4 = -1/2 (x -2) because that's point slope form

Answer 11

ok thanks can you help me with the others

Answer 12

8x + 2y =6 to slope intercept form
For this one you want to isolate y
2y = 6 - 8x
y = 3 - 4x
y = -4x + 3
that's it

Answer 13

2y = 6 - 8x
y = 3 - 4x
y = -4x + 3 is the answer and the work

Answer 14

ok thanks, so much this is helping me alot

Answer 15

y - 2 = 4 (x + 1) to standard form?

Answer 16

y - 2 = 4 (x + 1) to standard form
First distribute 4
y - 2 = 4x + 1
then isolate y
y = 4x + 2
y-4x = 2
-4x + y = 2
