Use point slope form to write the equation of a line given slope and point

The video tutorial explains how to write equations in slope-intercept form using point-slope form. It introduces the concept of point-slope form, demonstrates its application with examples, and guides through simplifying equations using the distributive property. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of correctly handling negative signs and parentheses in calculations.

What is the primary advantage of using point slope form?

• It is the simplest form of a linear equation.

• It requires fewer calculations.

• It is useful when you have a point and a slope.

• It is easier to graph.

When substituting values into the point slope form, what common mistake should be avoided?

• Not using parentheses for negative values.

• Ignoring the y-intercept.

• Forgetting to multiply the slope.

• Using the wrong formula.

What is the result of simplifying the expression X - (-1)?

• X + 2

• X - 2

• X + 1

• X - 1

Which property is applied to simplify the equation in point slope form?

• Associative Property

• Commutative Property

• Distributive Property

• Identity Property

What is the final form of the equation after solving for y?

• y = 3x - 5

• y = 3x - 2

• y = 3x + 2

• y = 3x + 5
