Algebra Lesson 2.6: Point-Slope Form


Practice Exercises

Write the equation of the line with the given point and slope in point-slope form. Then rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:

1. (x1,y1)=(2,3) and m=2

2. (x1,y1)=(−1,4) and m=12

3. (x1,y1)=(4,0) and m=0

4. (x1,y1)=(0,−1) and m=−5

Use the following graph to answer questions 5-10


5. Use the graph to find the slope of the blue line (review slope).

6. Find the coordinates of the red dot.

7. Use your answers to Exercises 5 and 6 to write the equation of the blue line in point-slope form. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

8. Find the coordinates of the green dot.

9. Use your answers to Exercises 5 and 7 to write the equation of the blue line in point-slope form. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

10. What do you notice about the answers to Exercises 7 and 9? Is this what you would expect to happen?
