Problem and lesson overview
Question:
A line passes through the point 3 comma 7 and has a slope of 2. Write the equation of the line in point-slope form, then convert it to slope-intercept form.
Finding Linear Equation from Point and Slope
This lesson shows how to write the equation of a line given its slope and one point on it. Students learn to apply the point-slope formula first, then convert to slope-intercept form through distribution and solving for y.
In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Apply the point-slope formula using a given slope and point
• Convert a point-slope equation to slope-intercept form by distributing and isolating y
• Identify the slope and y-intercept from slope-intercept form
• Verify a linear equation by substituting the given point
