Point-Slope Form
• You can use the slope of a line and any point on the
line to write and graph an equation of the line. Any
two equations for the same line are equivalent.
• Point Slope form of an equation of a nonvertical line
with slope m and through point (x₁ - y₁) is
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Writing an Equation in Point Slope Form
• A line passes through (-3,6) and has slope -5. What is an equation of the
line?
• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
use point-slope form
• Y – 6 = -5[x – (-3)]
substitute (-3, 6) for (x₁ - y₁) and -5 for m
• y – 6 = -(x + 3)
simplify inside grouping symbols

Standard Form
• One form of a linear equation, called Standard
Form, allows you to find intercepts quickly.
You can use the intercepts to draw the graph.
Standard form of a linear Equation
• The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C , where A, B, and C
are real numbers, and A and B are not both zero.

Using Standard Form as a Model
• An online store sells songs for $1 each and movies for $12 each. You have
$60 to spend.
• Write and graph the linear equation that describes the items you can purchase if you
spend the full $60. What are three combinations of numbers of songs and movies you
can purchase?
Using Standard Form as a Model
• You have only nickels and dimes in your piggy bank. When you run the coins
through a change counter, it indicates you have 595 cents. Write and graph an
equation that represents this situation. What are three combinations of
nickels and dimes you could have? What are reasonable domain and range
values for your function in terms of this real-world situation? What is the
zero of the function and what does it mean in this situation?
For each graph, find the slope and x- and y-intercepts. Then write an
equation in standard form using integers.
Write an equation for each horizontal or vertical line.
Using the graph write the equation of the line
using all three forms.
