In this lesson you practice rewriting a linear equation into slope intercept form. The techniques you practice today are used in other contexts for as long as you're using algebra. For example, today's techniques are a big part of solving literal equations in section 7.7 of our textbook. This material is covered on pages 157-162 in the Engaging Algebra textbook.
3.5 Rewriting Linear Functions into Slope Intercept Form
After today's lesson you should be able to rewrite any linear function into the form y = mx + b.
