5.6 – point slope formula Textbook pg. 315 Objective: The student will understand point-slope form in order to write and graph linear equations.
Graphing Point slope: *first plot point, then move with slope 2) slope = − 1 2 ; point (3, -2) 1) Slope = 3; point (1, 1)
Writing Point Slope: point slope point y – y1 = m(x – x1) Write an equation in slope intercept form: 3) Slope = -7; (4, 2)
Practice! 4) Slope = -2; ( 1 2 , 1) 5) slope = 5 2 ; (-3, 0) 6) slope = 1; (0, -2)
