Multiple Choice

What is the slope?

$$m=3\ and\ through\ \left(4,\ 7\right)$$  

• 4

• 7

• 3

• 0

Multiple Choice

After you substitute slope in, what would form look like?

$$m=3\ and\ through\ \left(4,\ 7\right)$$  

• $$y-y_1=3\left(x-x_1\right)$$  

• $$y-3=m\left(x-x_1\right)$$  

• $$y-y_1=m\left(x-3\right)$$  

• None of the Above

Multiple Choice

After you substitute points in, what would the next step be?

$$m=3\ and\ through\ \left(4,\ 7\right)$$  

• $$y-4=3\left(x-7\right)$$  

• $$y-7=m\left(x-4\right)$$  

• $$y+7=3\left(x+4\right)$$  

• $$y-7=3\left(x-4\right)$$  

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in point slope form,

$$m=\frac{2}{5}\ and\ \left(-3,-4\right)$$  

• $$y-4=\frac{2}{5}\left(x-3\right)$$  

• $$y-4=\frac{2}{5}\left(x+3\right)$$  

• $$y+4=\frac{2}{5}\left(x+3\right)$$  

Multiple Choice

Write the equation in point slope form,

$$m=-3\ and\ \left(6,-4\right)$$  

• $$y-4=-3\left(x+6\right)$$  

• $$y-4=-3\left(x+6\right)$$  

• $$y+4=-3\left(x-6\right)$$
