ANSWER
Write an equation given the slope and a pointEXAMPLE 2
Write an equation of the line that passes through (5, 4) and has a slope of –3.
Because you know the slope and a point on the line, use point-slope form to write an equation of the line. Let (x1, y1) = (5, 4) and m = –3.
y – y1 = m(x – x1) Use point-slope form.
y – 4 = –3(x – 5) Substitute for m, x1, and y1.
y – 4 = –3x + 15 Distributive property
SOLUTION
y = –3x + 19 Write in slope-intercept form.
Slope Formula
The slope of a line through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is as follows:
yy22 –– yy11 xx22 –– xx11

Slopes of Lines
• 2 lines are their slopes are
opposite reciprocals of each other; such as ½ and -2.
• Vertical and horizontal lines are to each other.
Example• Line l passes through (0,3) and (3,1).
• Line m passes through (0,3) and (-4,-3).

Let's look at a line and a point not on the line
(2, 4)
Let's find the equation of a line parallel to y = - x that passes through the point (2, 4)y = - x
What is the slope of the first line, y = - x ?
This is in slope intercept form so y = mx + b which means the slope is –1.

Distribute and then solve for y to leave in slope-intercept form.

So we know the slope is –1 and it passes through (2, 4). Having the point and the slope, we can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line

What if we wanted perpendicular instead of parallel?
(2, 4)
Let's find the equation of a line perpendicular to y = - x that passes through the point (2, 4)
y = - xThe slope of the first line is still –1.

The slope of a line perpendicular is the negative reciporical so take –1 and "flip" it over and make it negative.
