Write equations of lines in point-slope form. You wrote linear equations given either one point and the slope or two points. (Lesson 4–2) Write equations of lines in point-slope form. Write linear equations in different forms. Then/Now
point-slope form Vocabulary
Concept 1
Write and Graph an Equation in Point-Slope Form Write the point-slope form of an equation for a line that passes through (–2, 0) with slope Point-slope form Example 1
Graph the equation Plot the point at (–2, 0). Write and Graph an Equation in Point-Slope Form Graph the equation Plot the point at (–2, 0). Use the slope to find another point on the line. Draw a line through the two points. Answer: Example 1
