Point Slope Form

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope.

through: (4, 1), slope = -1

• y - 4 = x - 1

• None of these

• y - 1 = -(x + 4)

• y - 1 = -(x - 4)

Level 3: Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form.

• y=-3/4(x-2)

• y-2=3/5(x-5)

• y=3/5x-1

• y-5=3/5(x-2)

Which is NOT a correct point-slope equation for the line?

• y - 0 = 1/2(x + 2)

• y - 1 = 1/2(x - 0)

• y + 2 = 1/2(x + 2)

• y - 2 = 1/2(x - 2)

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
(4, -7); m = -1/4

• y + 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

• y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)

• y + 7 = 4(x - 4)

• y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)
