Point-Slope Form Practice

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

• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
• Ax + By = C
• y = mx + b

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)

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope:
 (-2, -1); m= -3

• y + 1 = -3(x - 2)
• y + 1 = -3(x + 2)
• y - 1 = 3(x - 1)
• y + 2 = -3(x + 1)

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

(4, 0); m = 7

• y - 4 = 7(x + 0)

• y - 0 = 7(x - 4)

• y = 7x + 4

• y = 7x + 0

For the equation
y + 1 = -3(x - 5),
the line contains the point (5, -1) and has a slope of?

• -1
• 1
• -3
• 5

What two things do you NEED to write an equation in point-slope form?

• a slope and a y-intercept

• a slope and a x-intercept

• a slope and a point

• two points on the line

What is the point in the following equation?
y-4 = 1/5 ( x-3)

• (3,4)
• (1/5,0)
• (-3,-4)
• (4,3)

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that passes through the points (1, 9) and (3, 5).

• y - 9 = 2(x - 1)

• y - 9 = -2(x - 1)
