Equation of a Line in Point-Slope Form

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Do your pupils claim they've forgotten how to write the equation of a line? Instead of reteaching, use this video as their review. It explains how to write the linear equation given a slope and a point, two points, and a point and a parallel line.

Instructional Ideas

  • Use as a review for writing linear equations given various pieces of information
  • Assign pupils several problems given various pieces of information mixed together; have them write the equation in just point-slope form

Classroom Considerations

  • Pupils should already have an understanding of writing equations of lines, as the lesson is designed as a review
  • Requires Internet access to watch a YouTube video
  • A continuation of a 29-part series about functions
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • The instructor breaks down the ways the information can be presented into three categories, allowing learners to see the relationships between all types
  • Simplifies all problems to slope-intercept form

Cons

  • None

How Do You Write an Equation of a Line in Point-Slope Form If You Have the Slope and One Point?

Curated OER
Given the coordinates for a point on a line and given the slope of that line, write an equation in point-slope form. Really, all that needs to be done is to use the formula for point-slope form and plug in the values.
