Point Slope Form

Literally using a point and a slope

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

The equation above is Point Slope Form

It's the best form to use when given a point and a slope!
Rewrite it with the following
(5, 2) and a slope of -2

Double Checking Understanding

(-3, -2) and m = 9

y - (_) = _(x - (_))

y + _ = _(x + _)

y + 2 = 9(x + 3)

Converting it to Slope Intercept Form!

Let's try it out! It's only two steps.
