Write the equation of a line given point and slope

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a line using the point-slope form when given a point and a slope. It starts by introducing the point-slope form as an alternative to the slope-intercept form. The instructor demonstrates how to label the given point as X1 and Y1 and the slope as M, then plug these values into the point-slope formula. The tutorial also covers converting the equation into slope-intercept form by applying the distributive property. The session concludes with an example problem to reinforce the concepts.

What precautions should be taken when using parentheses in the equation?

What are the values of the slope and Y-intercept in the final equation derived?
