Point-Slope Form #1

Point-Slope Form

We need 2 things for a point-slope equation:

A point & a slope

Multiple Choice

What type of slope?

• negative

• positive

• zero slope

• downward slope

Multiple Choice

Which of these represents point-slope form of a linear equation?

• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• Ax + By = C

• y = mx + b

Multiple Choice

What is the slope in the equation y=2x + 3?

• 2

• 3

• 5

• Cannot be Determined

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.

(4, -7); m = -1/4

• y +7 = -1/4(x - 4)

• y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)

• y+ 7 = 4(x - 4)

• y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

Multiple Choice

For the equation

y + 1 = -3(x - 5),

the line contains the point (5, -1) and has a slope of?

• -1

• 1

• -3

• 5

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in point-slope form for the line that contains the points

(-2, -3), (4, 3)

• y - 3 = 1(x - 2)

• y + 3 = 1(x + 2)

• y -3 = -1(x + 2)

• y + 3 = -1(x - 2)

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that contains the points

(3, -5) and (5, - 1)

• y = 2x + 11

• y = 2x + 1

• y = 2x - 1

• y = 2x - 11
