Linear Equations in Point-Slope Form

Review

Write the equation for the line in point-slope form.

3. The slope is \(\begin{align*}\frac{1}{3}\end{align*}\); the \(\begin{align*}y-\end{align*}\)intercept is –4.

4. The slope is \(\begin{align*}-\frac{1}{10}\end{align*}\) and contains the point (10, 2).

7. The line contains the points (–2, 3) and (–1, –2).

8. The line contains the points (0, 0) and (1, 2).


Write each equation in slope-intercept form.

  1. \(\begin{align*}y-2=3(x-1)\end{align*}\)

  2. \(\begin{align*}y+4=\frac{-2}{3}(x+6)\end{align*}\)
