    Point Slope Form

    Uploaded by

    Joann Moseley
    1) Point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a given point on the line. 2) To write an equation in point-slope form, identify the slope m and a point (x1, y1), then substitute them into the point-slope form equation. 3) To convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form, use algebraic manipulation like distribution and combining like terms.

    Slope – Intercept Form


    A linear equation written in the form
    y – y1 = m(x – x1) is in point-slope form.
    The graph of this equation is a line with slope m
    passing through the point (x1, y1).

    Plot the point, then rise & run from there….
