Point-Slope Point Slope Form of an Equation

LT 4.6: Write equations of lines in point-slope form LT 4.7: Write equations of parallel and perpendicular lines

Whats the formula for slope?

We can ____________________________________________ and get another type of equation of a line called point-slope form.

When do you use this form of the line?

Ex. Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. a. through (2, 5) with slope b. through (1, 6) and (3, 9)

c.

d.

Ex. Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Then write it in slope-intercept form. a. through (5, 7) with slope -1 b. through (3, -7) and (1, 3)

Two lines are parallel if: Two lines are perpendicular if:

Ex. Write the equation of the line parallel to the given line through the point in point-slope and point slope-intercept form. a. y = 3x + 5; (-1, 7) b. y = - x + 3; (2, 8)

Ex. Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line through the point in point-slope poi and slope-intercept form. a. y = 5x 2; (10, 3) b. y = x + 6; (-2, 4)
