Two Variables
A linear equation involving two variables x and y has
the standard form
ax + by = c
where “a” and “b” are coefficient and “c” is constant

Two Variables
There are three main forms of linear equations.
Ax + By = C y = mx + b 2 2
where “a” and “b” where “m” is slope and where “m” is slope and
are coefficient and “b” is the y-intercept (x1 , y1) is a point on the
“c” is constant line

x x x x
Solution: m
m
m
When using the slope formula, take care to be
consistent since order does matter.
y = mx + b
The value of “m” tells us the Slope of the line.
The value of “b” tells us where the line crosses the y-axis.
This is called the y-intercept and it has the coordinate (0, b).
y= +7.
Solution:
Answer:
The y-intercept is (0, 7),
Q.16. 3y – 5x + 20 = 4x – 2y +5
Q.17. 2x + 3y = 4x + 3y
Q.18. –5x + y – 12 = 2y – 5x
3. Point-Slope Form
Point-slope form emphasises the slope of the line and a point on
the line (that is not the y-intercept)
By rearranging Slope formula:
