5.3 Write Linear Equations in Point-Slope Form

Author: Maddie H

Equations

What we know...

Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b

  When m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Standard Form: Ax+By=C

  Where A and B are not both zero (A, B, C are real numbers)

 

The New Equation...

Point-Slope Form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

  Where m is the slope and y1 and x1 are points in an ordered pair.
