Writing an equation using point slope form given a point and slope

The video tutorial explains how to use the point-slope form to find the equation of a line and convert it into slope-intercept form. It begins by identifying a point and a slope, then demonstrates how to plug these values into the point-slope equation. The tutorial concludes by applying the distributive property to convert the equation into slope-intercept form, emphasizing the process of rewriting equations.
