Question

Write a linear equation that is in point-slope form. Identify the slope and name a point on the line.

Answer 1

Point slope form is:


`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))`

With
`x_(1)` and
`y_(1)` being a set of points, and m being the slope.

So basically, m would be the slope of the line, and
`x_(1)` and
`y_(1)` would be the parts of an ordered pair.

So then you could take any points, and any slope, and just put it in. Here's an example:

y - 4 = 3(x - 2)

With the point being (2, 4) and slope 3.
