3. Vocabulary Point-Slope Form of a Line

4. If you know the slope and any point on the line, you can write an equation of the line by using the slope formula. For example, suppose a line has a slope of 3 and contains (2, 1). Let (x, y) be any other point on the line. 3(x – 2) = y – 1 y – 1 = 3(x – 2) Slope formula Substitute into the slope formula. Multiply both sides by (x – 2). Simplify.

5. If you know the slope and any point on the line, you can write an equation of the line by using the slope formula. Point-Slope Form

6. y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) x-coordinatey-coordinate slope (x 1, y 1 ) represents a specific point and (x, y) represents any point.

8. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line with the given slope that contains the given point. a. b. slope = 0; (3, –4) y – (–4) = 0(x – 3) y + 4 = 0(x – 3) Your Turn:

9. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 3 that contains (–1, 4). Step 1 Write the equation in point-slope form: y – 4 = 3[x – (–1)] Step 2 Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. y – 4 = 3(x + 1) Rewrite subtraction of negative numbers as addition. Distribute 3 on the right side. y – 4 = 3x + 3 + 4 + 4 y = 3x + 7 Add 4 to both sides. y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) Example: Writing Linear Equations Using Point-Slope Form

10. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope that contains (–3, 1). Step 1 Write the equation in point-slope form: y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) Your Turn:

11. Rewrite subtraction of negative numbers as addition. Distribute on the right side. +1 Step 2 Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. Add 1 to both sides. Continued

12. In Lesson 5-3, you saw that if you know the slope of a line and the y-intercept, you can graph the line. You can also graph a line if you know its slope and any point on the line. Point-Slope Form and Graphing
