Understanding Point Slope Form

Point slope form represents a linear equation as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope. It is useful when the slope and a single point are known. Examples show how to write equations in point slope form given the slope and a point, or to find the equation of a line through a given point with a given slope.

Understanding Point Slope Form

Point Slope Form is a method used to represent a linear equation. It helps in describing a line using its slope and a
single point on the line.

Exploring Point Slope Form
Point Slope Form is expressed as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, and m is the slope.

It's a useful form for writing the equation of a line when you know the slope and the coordinates of a single point on
the line.
Examples of Point Slope Form

1 Example 1
Given a point (4, 3) and a slope of 2, write the equation of the line in point slope form.

2 Example 2
Find the equation of a line passing through (-3, 5) with a slope of -4 using point slope form.

3 Example 3
Write the equation of a line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (2, -1) in point slope form.
Understanding Standard
Form
Standard Form represents a linear equation in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B,
and C are integers with A > 0 and A, B not both zero.
Explanation of Standard Form
This form of the linear equation makes it easier to calculate the x and y intercepts, among other operations.

It's used as a way to standardize the representation of linear equations for various mathematical operations.
Examples of Standard Form
Example 1 Example 2

Convert 3x - 4y = 12 to standard form. Rewrite -2x + 5y = 15 in standard form.

Determine the x and y-intercepts of the line 8x + 6y = Convert 4x - 6y = 9 to standard form.


24 in standard form.
Insight into Linear Functions
A linear function is a type of function that models a relationship between two quantities that have a constant rate of
change.

It's represented by a straight line when graphed on the Cartesian plane.


Definition and Application
of Linear Functions
Linear functions are expressed as f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-
intercept.

They are used to describe various real-world phenomena with a constant rate of
change.

-4x + y = 8 -2 8
Understanding Linear
Functions and their Graphs
The graph of a linear function is a straight line that shows the relationship between
the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.

It provides a visual representation of the function's behavior and the changes in the
relationship it describes.
