Sometimes you will need to write the equation Sometimes you will need to write the equation given information about the graph. Sometimes you will need to write the equation To do this you have to use this equation: given information about the graph. Sometimes you will need to write the equation To do this you have to use this equation: given information about the graph. y - y1 = m(x - x1) Sometimes you will need to write the equation To do this you have to use this equation: which is the point-slope form given information about the graph. y - y1 = m(x - x1) Point-slope Form y - y1 = m(x - x1) ? y - y1 = m(x - x1) Point-slope Form ? To use the point slope form you need three values y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 An y1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 An y1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 and an m An y1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) To use the point slope form you need three values An x1 and an m An y1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) You will never ever EVER put numbers in for the x and y y - y1 = m(x - x1) You will never ever EVER put numbers in for the x and y y - y1 = m(x - x1) You will never ever EVER put numbers in for the x and y y - y1 = m(x - x1) never You will never ever EVER put numbers in for the x and y y - y1 = m(x - x1) never You will never ever EVER put numbers in for the x and y ever y - y1 = m(x - x1) never Mark all variables that will be replaced with numbers y - y1 = m(x - x1) y y1 m x x1 Mark all variables that never EVER be replaced with y - y1 = m(x - x1) y y1 m x x1 numbers So if they give you a point So if they give you a point (2,3) So if they give you a point and a slope (2,3) So if they give you a point and a slope (2,3) 4 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope (2,3) 4 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope x1 (2,3) 4 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m.

So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4 y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4( y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4(x y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4(x - y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4(x - 2 y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 You will use that to find x1, y1, and m. So if they give you a point and a slope and then plug in those values in x1 y - 3 = 4(x - 2) y - y1 = m(x - x1) (2,3) 4 m y1 y - y1 = m(x - x1) x1 = 1 y1 = 4 m = 5 y - 4 ? = 5 ?
