Point-Slope Form of a Line

What is the equation in Point-Slope form of the line that goes through the point (6,1) and has a slope of -3?

• y - 6 = -3(x - 1)

• y + 6 = -3(x + 1)

• y - 1 = -3(x - 6)

• y + 1 = -3(x + 3)

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 an equation in point slope form that passes through the following points.

(1, 4) and (-1, 1)

• y-4=3/2(x-1)

• y+4=3/2(x-1)

• y=3/2x+4

• x-4=3/2(y-1)

Which is NOT a correct point-slope equation for the line?

• y - 0 = 1/2(x + 2)

• y - 1 = 1/2(x - 0)

• y + 2 = 1/2(x + 2)

• y - 2 = 1/2(x - 2)

Write the Equation in POINT SLOPE Form

Point (1, -3) m = -2

• y - 3 = -2(x + 1)

• y + 3 = -2(x - 1)

• y - 1 = 2(x +3)

• y + 1 = -2(x - 3)
