What information do you need in order to use the point slope formula?

How do you find an equation with a given slope?
Use point-slope formula
Why can you use the point-slope formula when writing an equation of a horizontal line but not with a vertical line?
A vertical line HAS NO slope! The slope is undefined in this case.
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.
How does using the point slope form of a linear equation make it easier to write the equation of a line?
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.

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.
How do you find the equation of a line without graphing?
There are a couple ways to determine the equation of a line without graphing. How to proceed depends on what you know about the line. Do you know a point, (x1, y1), and slope, m? Then use the point-slope formula, Do you know two points on the line, say (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)? Then use the two-point formula,
How do you find the value of a slope when given two point?
You use the point-slope formula. m= (x2-x1)/(y2-y1). So say the points are (5,2) and (9,4) you subtract 9-2, and 4-5 and divide that, getting -7 (which by the way is a huge slope).
When is it good to use a slope formula?
When formatting the equation of a given line into slope-intercept form.
