Practice: General Form

1. Determine the x-intercept and the y-intercept for the graph of each equation.

8x  3 y  24 7 x  8 y  56

𝒙 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒚 = 𝟎 𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒙 = 𝟎 𝒙 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒚 = 𝟎 𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒙 = 𝟎

𝟖𝒙 − 𝟑(𝟎) = 𝟐𝟒 𝟖(𝟎) − 𝟑𝒚 = 𝟐𝟒 𝟕𝒙 + 𝟖(𝟎) = 𝟓𝟔 𝟕(𝟎) + 𝟖𝒚 = 𝟓𝟔


𝟖𝒙 = 𝟐𝟒 −𝟑𝒚 = 𝟐𝟒 𝟕𝒙 = 𝟓𝟔 𝟖𝒚 = 𝟓𝟔
𝒙=𝟑 𝒚 = −𝟖 𝒙=𝟖 𝒚=𝟕

∴ (𝟑, 𝟎) ∴ (𝟎, −𝟖) ∴ (𝟖, 𝟎) ∴ (𝟎, 𝟕)

4 x 11y  88 2 x  9 y  27

𝒙 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒚 = 𝟎 𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒙 = 𝟎 𝒙 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒚 = 𝟎 𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒙 = 𝟎

𝟒𝒙 − 𝟏𝟏(𝟎) = 𝟖𝟖 𝟒(𝟎) − 𝟏𝟏𝒚 = 𝟖𝟖 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗(𝟎) = 𝟐𝟕 𝟐(𝟎) − 𝟗𝒚 = 𝟐𝟕


𝟒𝒙 = 𝟖𝟖 −𝟏𝟏𝒚 = 𝟖𝟖 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟐𝟕 −𝟗𝒚 = 𝟐𝟕
𝒙 = 𝟐𝟐 𝒚 = −𝟖 𝟐𝟕 𝒚 = −𝟑
𝒙=
𝟐
∴ (𝟐𝟐, 𝟎) ∴ (𝟎, −𝟖) ∴ (𝟎, −𝟑)
𝟐𝟕
∴ ( , 𝟎)
𝟐

2. Write each equation in general form.


4 x  3 y  36 2x  y  7

𝟒𝒙 + 𝟑𝒚 − 𝟑𝟔 = 𝟎 𝟐𝒙 − 𝒚 − 𝟕 = 𝟎

y  2 x  6 y  5x  1

𝟐𝒙 + 𝒚 − 𝟔 = 𝟎 𝟓𝒙 − 𝒚 − 𝟏 = 𝟎
3. Explain how you can tell that each equation is not written in general form. Think about
what the rules are for something to be considered in general form.
 2 x  3 y  42  0 4 y  5x  100

Right order, but 𝒙 is not positive. Everything is not over on one side, and 𝒙 is not
positive.
𝟐𝒙 − 𝟑𝒚 − 𝟒𝟐 = 𝟎
𝟓𝒙 − 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎 = 𝟎

0.5x  0.5 y  1  0 5 y  9 x  20  0

Right order, but 𝒙 is not a whole number and 𝒚 is Wrong order, the 𝒙 term should go first.
not an integer.
𝟗𝒙 + 𝟓𝒚 − 𝟐𝟎 = 𝟎
𝒙−𝒚+𝟐=𝟎

4. Write each equation in slope-intercept form.


4 x  3 y  24  0 3x  8 y  12  0
𝟑𝒚 = −𝟒𝒙 + 𝟐𝟒 𝟖𝒚 = 𝟑𝒙 + 𝟏𝟐
𝟒 𝟑 𝟑
𝒚=− 𝒙+𝟖 𝒚= 𝒙+
𝟑 𝟖 𝟐

2 x  5 y  15  0 5 y  9 x  20  0
𝟓𝒚 = 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟏𝟓 𝟓𝒚 = −𝟗𝒙 + 𝟐𝟎
𝟐 𝟗
𝒚= 𝒙−𝟑 𝒚=− 𝒙+𝟒
𝟓 𝟓

5. Write each equation in general form.


1 1
y x4 y  2  ( x  5)
3 3
𝟑𝒚 = 𝒙 − 𝟏𝟐 𝟑(𝒚 − 𝟐) = 𝟏(𝒙 + 𝟓)
𝟎 = 𝒙 − 𝟑𝒚 − 𝟏𝟐 𝟑𝒚 − 𝟔 = 𝒙 + 𝟓
𝟎 = 𝒙 − 𝟑𝒚 + 𝟏𝟏
1 3 4
y  3   ( x  1) y   x
4 2 3
𝟒(𝒚 + 𝟑) = −𝟏(𝒙 − 𝟏) 𝟔𝒚 = −𝟗𝒙 + 𝟖
𝟒𝒚 + 𝟏𝟐 = −𝒙 + 𝟏 𝟎 = 𝟗𝒙 + 𝟔𝒚 − 𝟖
𝟎 = 𝒙 + 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟏𝟏

6. Match each equation with its graph below. Justify each choice.
5x  4 y  15  0

𝒙 𝒊𝒏𝒕 → 𝒚 = 𝟎
4 4
y   x3 y  3   ( x  3) 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟒(𝟎) = 𝟏𝟓
5 5
𝟓𝒙 = 𝟏𝟓
𝒙=𝟑
Graph B. It’s the only one with a Graph C. It’s the only one with a
𝒚 − intercept of (𝟎, 𝟑). point at (−𝟑, 𝟑). ∴ (𝟑, 𝟎)

Graph A. It’s the only one with a


point at (𝟑, 𝟑).
