APPLYING POINT-SLOPE FORM


Claire needs graph the equation y − 4 = 2(x − 7).
a. What does Claire know just by looking at the equation?

b. Using the information above, list the steps Claire should take
to create her graph. Then create the line on the graph.
Step 1: _____________________________________________
Step 2:______________________________________________
c. Is there another way Claire could have created her graph?
Explain.

For 1 & 2, list a point on the line and the slope. Then create a graph of the equation.
1 2. y + 3 = -2(x + 1)
1. y − 5 = 3 (x − 3)

Point: _______ Point: _______

Slope:_______ Slope:_______

6. Use your knowledge of point-slope form to find the
y-intercept of the graphed line.

Apply your knowledge of point-slope form to answer 7 and 8.


7. Jim sells custom artwork. He charges 8. Val started watching a live video on social
customers $18 per hour plus a set design fee. media. The equation y + 20 = 120(x + 1)
A recent order that cost $97 took Jim 4 hours. represents y, the total number of people
watching the video as a function of x, the
number of minutes since Val started watching.
