The video tutorial explains how to write equations in point-slope form, starting with an introduction to the concept. It provides examples using a given slope and point, and demonstrates how to find the slope from two points using the slope formula. The tutorial also covers using a graph to determine the slope and write the equation in point-slope form. Key concepts include understanding the point-slope form equation, calculating slope from points, and applying these skills to graph-based problems.

Given a slope of 5 and a point (-2, 4), what is the point-slope form of the equation?

y - 4 = 5(x + 2)

y + 4 = 5(x - 2)

y + 4 = 5(x + 2)

y - 4 = 5(x - 2)

If the slope is -4/5 and the point is (-1, 2), what is the point-slope form of the equation?

y - 2 = -4/5(x + 1)

y + 2 = -4/5(x - 1)

y - 2 = 4/5(x + 1)

y + 2 = 4/5(x - 1)
