Understanding Point-Slope Form

What do you need to form a point slope equation?

• Two slopes

• A point and a slope

• A slope and an intercept

• Two points

What is the first step in converting a point slope equation to slope intercept form?

• Multiply the slope by the intercept

• Subtract the point from both sides

• Use the distributive property

• Add the slope to both sides

When given two points, what is the first thing you should find?

• The intercept

• The slope

• The midpoint

• The average

How do you handle double negatives in the slope formula?

• Subtract them

• Add them together

• Change them to a positive

• Ignore them

What is the final step in converting to slope intercept form?

• Add/Subtract the slope to the intercept

• Multiply/Divide the slope by the point

• Multiply/Divide the constant from both sides

• Add/Subtract the constant to both sides
