Graphing from Slope and a Point

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

Explain how to graph the following equation... y - 2 = 1/3(x - 3)

• Plot the point (−3,−2), move up 1 and right 3 units from there.

• Plot the point (3,2), move up 1 and left 3 units from there.

• Plot the point (3,2), move up 1 and right 3 units from there.

• Plot the point (2,3), move up 1 and right 3 units from there.

For the equation y + 1 = −3(x - 5), the line contains the point (5, −1), but what is the slope?

• −1

• 3

• −3

• 5

For the equation

y + 1 = 1/4(x - 5),

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

• 1

• 5

• 1/4

• −1

For the equation
y - 3 = 2(x + 4),
the line has a slope of 2 and contains what point?

• (-4, 3)

• (3, -4)

• (-3, -4)

• (-4, -3)

For the equation y + 3 = -4(x - 2), which of the following is true?

• The line has m = −4 passing through the point (2, -3)

• The line has m = 4 passing through the point (3, −2)

• The line has m = 3 passing through the point (-4, -2)

• The line has m = −4 passing through the point (−3, 2)

For the equation
y - 3 = 2(x + 4),
which of the following is true?

• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (4, -3)

• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (3, -4)

• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (-4, 3)

• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (-3, 4)

For the equation

y + 2 = 5(x - 4),

the line has a slope of 5 and contains what point?

• (4,−2)

• (−4,2)

• (5,0)

• (4,2)

How would you graph a line that has the same slope as Line B and starts at (0, -3)?

• Plot the first point at (0, -3); next, go UP 2 : RIGHT 1 and plot the next point.

• Plot the first point at (0, -3); next, go DOWN 1 : RIGHT 2 and plot the next point.

• Plot the first point at (-3, 0); next, go UP 2 : RIGHT 1 and plot the next point.

• Plot the first point at (-3, 0); next, go DOWN 2 : RIGHT 1 and plot the next point.
