How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
How do you write the point-slope form of an equation of the line described?
No line described, but here is the point slope form. Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) =============
How do you find a line that goes through a given point?
You need either a point and the slope of the line or two points. Then you use the point slope form of the line or the slope intercept form to write the lines.A given point has an infinite number of lines going through it, that is why you need more information.
Linear equations in point slope form?
Point-slope form is written as: y-y1=m(x-x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope (hence the name, point-slope form).
How do you write an equation of a line in slope intercept form with a slope of 5 and passing through the point 0 and 6?
It is: y = 5x+6
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point 1 1?
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1, 1).
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.

How do write an equation of a line when given the slope a point of the line?
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
How do you write the point-slope form of an equation of the line described?
No line described, but here is the point slope form. Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) =============
If the equation of a line has an undefined slope and passes through the point 1 3 which form would be used to write the equation of the line?
x = 1 (the line intersects the x-axis at 1, and is parallel to the y-axis)We cannot write the equation on the Slope-intercept form, since the slope of the line is undefined. 1 is the x-coordinate of any point on the given line.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -3 and contains the point -4 5?
The answe iss..... 6
Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point 1 1?
y = 2x - 1
Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of 3 and contains the point 2 5?
y=2x+1
Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that has a slope of 2 and contains the point of 4 2?
It is: y = 2x-6
Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.
