Point-Slope Form
(given a point and slope)
TSWBAT: write an equation given a
point and the slope using the
Point-Slope formula.
Students verify that a point lies on a line, given
an equation of the line. Students are able to
derive linear equations by using the point-slope
formula.
Notes
Graph the line with the given slope that contains the given point.
Find the y-intercept and then write the equation of the line.

It’s called the PointSlope Formula
because you need a
point and the slope to
write the equation of
the line.
Before we were given the graph,
and told to find the equation.
Now we will be given a point and the slope,
and told to find the equation.
