Point-Slope Form:

Formula:
y-y1 =m(x - x1)

Do you know how to figure


this out?

1.Find slope.

2.Substitute (x1,y1) in above


equation.
HOW TO FIGURE OUT
Point Slope Form:
Formula:
y- y1 = m(x - x1)
If they give you the slope and a point,
then just substitute the numbers into
the formula above.
1) Find the equation of a line using point slope form for the line passing through point (3, 5) with slope of 6
y – y1 = m(x – x1) Point Slope Form

y – (-2) = 3(x – 1) Plug in values

2) Find the equation of a line using point slope form for the line passing through point (1, -2) with slope of 3
y – y1 = m(x – x1) Point Slope Form

y – 5 = 6(x – 3) Plug in values


3) Find the equation of a line using point
slope form for the line passing through point
(-3, 5) with slope of -2

y – y1 = m(x – x1) Point Slope Form

y – 5 = -2(x – (-3)) Plug in values

y – 5 = -2(x + 3) Rewrite as
A line is passing through the points
(-3, 6) and (1, -2). Write the equation of a line in
Point-Slope Form.

• Step 1: Find the slope.


• m = y2 -y1 = -2 – 6 = -8 = -2
x2-x1 1 –(-3) 4

• Step 2: Substitute one point, (-3, 6) and the


slope into the Point-Slope Form equation: y –
y1 = m(x – x1)
• y – 6 = -2(x - -3)
• y – 6 = -2(x + 3)
