1. Section 2.5 Other Equations of Lines  Point-Slope Form (y – y 1 )=m(x – x 1 )  Special pairs of lines: Parallel Lines m 1 = m 2 Perpendicular lines m 1 = -1 / m 2 2.51

2. Point-Slope Form of a Line  Slope-Intercept Form y = mx + b Given an equation, it’s easy to find its slope and y-intercept, and graph it  Standard Form Ax + By = C Given an equation, it’s easy to find both intercepts, using them to graph it  Point-Slope Form (y – y 1 ) = m(x – x 1 ) Given a slope and any point, it’s easy to write a line’s equation 2.52

3. Writing a Line’s Graph using the slope and any one point (x 1,y 1 ) Was this step Really Necessary? (3,4) (5,3) 2.53

4. Writing an Equation in Function Form (slope/intercept) : What if all we know are 2 points on a line? 2.54

5. Application 2.55

6. Slopes of Parallel Lines m 1 = m 2 But wait! How can you be sure that it’s not the same line ? AND different y-intercepts! 2.56

7. Slopes of Perpendicular Lines m 1 = -1 / m 2 2.57

8. Slopes of Perpendicular Lines m 1 = -1 / m 2 2.58
