Lesson 7.3 Summary

Although linear equations can be represented in many different ways, the slope-intercept, general, and slope-point forms are some of the most common and useful. Each has various advantages and disadvantages and when necessary, one can be rearranged into another.

 

For further information about linear equations in slope-point form, see pp. 370 - 376 of Mathematics 10.

Linear equations can be represented in many various ways. By learning about many different forms, you will solve problems quickly because you have more tools to work with, each with specific benefits. In the next lesson, you will explore the relationship between parallel lines and perpendicular lines.
