1. 5.6 – point slope formula Textbook pg. 315 Objective:
The student will understand point-slope form in order to write and graph linear equations.

2. Graphing Point slope: *first plot point, then move with slope
2) slope = − 1 2 ; point (3, -2)
1) Slope = 3; point (1, 1)

3. Writing Point Slope: point slope point y – y1 = m(x – x1)
Write an equation in slope intercept form:
3) Slope = -7; (4, 2)

4. Practice!
4) Slope = -2; ( 1 2 , 1) 5) slope = 5 2 ; (-3, 0) 6) slope = 1; (0, -2)
