What is the strategy for graphing point-slope form?

• Graph the y-intercept, then use the slope to move.

• Divide to find the x- and y-intercepts.

• Graph the given point, then move according to slope.

Select all of the following equations in point-slope form.

• y - 2 = 5(x - 2)

• 3x + 2y = 12

• y + 2 = 1/4(x + 4)

• y = 4x + 6

• 2y = 5x - 7

For the equation

y + 1 = −3(x - 5),

the line contains the point (5, −1), but what is the slope?

• −1

• 3

• −3

• 5
