Point-Slope Form of a Line

Bridging the knowledge gap between slope-intercept form and point-slope form, Sal explains that the forms are "just two different ways of writing the same equation." This piece of information will be useful to those who have a difficult...

Given two points on a line, this video shows how to write the linear equation in point-slope, slope-intercept, and standard forms. First, Sal reviews each of these forms, then calculates the slope, writes the equation in point-slope...

Given a table of x and y values, is it possible to write a linear equation from this information? There will be several steps involved. First is to use the point-slope formula to find a slope. Then use that slope and one of the ordered...

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.

Given two points on a line, write an equation in point-slope form. But what's the slope? Oh, you have to figure out the slope first. That can be done given two points. Just use the rise over run slope formula. This isn't so hard after...

Given a linear equation, rewrite it in different forms. No matter what form a linear equation is given in, it can be converted to the other forms. So that means every linear equation can be written in standard form, point-slope form and...

Show your class what the point-slope form or a linear equation looks like and how to find it with this video. An instructor defines point-slope form and proceeds to work through an example. Great for in-class or at-home use.
