Algebra 1 · Linear Functions

Definition

Standard form is a linear equation written Ax + By = C with A, B, and C as integers.

Examples

  • 2x + 3y = 6 is in standard form.
  • x - 4y = 8 is in standard form.

Key rule

Keep the variables on one side and a constant on the other.

Memory hook

Standard form: Ax + By = C, integers only.
