Unit: Linear Functions Name _____________________________________

Student Handout 7 Date _____________________________Pd______

STANDARD FORM
A local museum has a special bug exhibit. Adult tickets cost $11 and child tickets cost $5. A
group spent a total of $55 on tickets. If x represents the number of child tickets and y
represents the number of adult tickets, write a function to represent this situation.

This form of a linear equation is called standard form and is used in many real-world situations.

In standard form, A, B and C are


STANDARD Ax + By = C _______________ whose greatest common factor
FORM is ______. A must be _______________ and A and
B also cannot both be _______.
Based on the definition above, circle all the functions below that are written in standard form.

3x + 4y = 13 25 3
-5x + 6y = 4x + y = 6
y − 3 = -6(x − 8) 2x + 5y = 20 7x + 3y = 53

Linear equations written in standard form can be especially helpful for finding x and y-intercepts.
• The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses
the ________ , and the x-intercept (also called the ______ )
is the point where the graph crosses the ________.
X AND Y- Record the ordered pair of the x and y-intercepts below.

INTERCEPTS x- int:_______ y- int: _______

• An x-intercept will always have a y-value of ______ ,


and a y-intercept will always have an x-value of ______.

Find the x and y intercepts of the functions below. Use the points to then graph the function.
1. x + 2y = 6 2. 4x + 7y = 28

Describe another way that you could create a graph of a linear equation written in standard form:
In 3 & 4, rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form. Then list the slope and create a graph.
3. 4x + 6y = 12 4. 7x + 5y = 35

y = ______________ y = ______________

slope: ___________ slope: ___________

Use your knowledge of standard form to answer 5-8.
