Linear Equations in Point-Slope Form

Key Questions

• What is the difference between point-slope form and slope intercept form?

  Answer:

  1) point-slope form
  2) slope intercept form

  Explanation:

  1) #y−b=m(x−a)#
  m = slope
  (a, b) A point that the line passes through

  2) #y=mx+b#
  m = slope
  b = y-intercept

• How do you graph equations that are written in point-slope form?

  Answer:

  Explanation below:

  Explanation:

  Let's use this example from http://www.purplemath.com/modules/strtlneq2.htm to help you understand how to graph point-slope form equations:

  #m = 4#, #x_1 = –1#, and #y_1 = –6# are given.

  Formula:

  #y – y_1 = m(x – x_1)#

  Plug-in your variables:

  #y – (–6) = (4)(x – (–1))#

  Simplify. Two negatives make a positive:

  #y + 6 = 4(x + 1)#

  Distribute 4 to x and 1. Simplify.

  #y + 6 = 4x + 4#

  Subtract 6 from both sides.

  #y = 4x – 2#

  graph{y=4x-2 [-12.66, 12.65, -7.7, 4.96]}

• How do you write linear equations in point slope form?

  To find the equation of a line having a point #P(x_p,y_p)# and with the slope #m#, this formula can be used:

  #y-y_p=m(x-x_p)#.

  E.G.:

  Find the line that passes from P(2,-3) with the slope of 4:

  #y+3=4(x-2)rArry=4x-11#.

  graph{4x-11 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}.
