Understanding Standard Form Equations
What is Standard Form?
Standard form is a way of writing linear equations as Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A is typically positive. This format is particularly useful for quickly identifying intercepts and analyzing linear relationships in mathematics and real-world applications.
- A, B, and C must be integers (whole numbers)
- A should be positive (A ≥ 0)
- Coefficients should have no common factors
- Ideal for finding x and y intercepts quickly
