Find the Equation of a Line Using Point-Slope Form

[h4xmode]

I love you man.

[Sistersarait]

Loved your explanation thank you sooo much!! Step by step and you showed how to divide the fractions and all thanks!

[MsPrincessCeleste]

thank you... your explanation was extremely helpful!

[appyxgirl]

This really helped me! Thank you soooo much!!!:)

[thacarter36]

thx



[LotsOffGlitter]

Your are so awesome! Thank you!

[tahaali3]

You are realy awsome now i understand everything

Thank You

[ChinoPR001]

There should be a schooltube.... anyone agree?

[patrickJMT]

@ChinoPR001 do you mean youtube.edu?

[patrickJMT]

@ChinoPR001 cause it already exists

[drgigglesdoescocaine]

alright im a freshman and im still working on this math, i feel really dumb =(

[patrickJMT]

@drgigglesdoescocaine i didnt take precal til second semester of my freshman year, so do not worry about it

[bellaetforks19]

@drgigglesdoescocaine Dont worry Im a freshman in college and this shit is not making it through my BRAIN!!!!

[68sky123]

@drgigglesdoescocaine huh you feel dumb, im a sophmore in Algebra 2 and i dont even know half of my times tables

[Shukria123]

but these changing winds can blow cold and hostile...

[theawesomeestdude]

Hi i watched youe video and had a question about a problem i'm working on. The equation i'm solving is y-(-4)=3/2 (x+2). I keep getting y=3/2x-7/3. I'm pullingmy hairout over this. Please help me.

[Mrtheunnameable]

@theawesomeestdude You have to distribute the 3/2 to the (x+2) so you get 3/2x + 3. Then just solve for y by subtracting 4 from both sides.

[IronMaiden7S7S]

Thank you so much. I must have watched over twenty of your videos. You and tqnohe are the reasons as to why I'm not failing math!!!

[DieuDesDouze]

youtube must make a lot of money from patrick, because i've had to watch so many ads to watch all of his videos.

[patrickJMT]

@DieuDesDouze the ads are why youtube is free for you to watch

[DieuDesDouze]

@patrickJMT i understand capitalism. not all playlists have ads on every single video. yours do. don't be a smartass. a gift of knowledge will ruin you, if you act like a fuckboy.

[princessnazareth]

I absolutely love this video. Totally makes better sense than what my instructor mumbles for 2 hours. thanks a bunch!!

[theagam97]

you just have me with my test man. thanks a lot ! ;D

[jbobman7]

ty

[oioioioioioikjkjkj]

you are my man

[thane240]

i ended up with y=2/3x+4/3

[thane240]

what is the answer to this- (the line with a slope 2/3 through (4,4) in point slope form

help please.

[DarkGhoul45]

Thankyou. This helps with Geometry and my Runescape bots :)

[SnipeWith3]

What is my two points are 1,1 and 3,7 i did everything you did but when i go to the part where you change it into y=mx=b i got lost because instead of keeping the fraction 6/2 i reduced and i added the 7 to both sides where do i multiply by 5 or do i even?

[IBFresh4Lyfe]

Im in 8th grade and have to do like 10 problems of this every single day for homework thanks a lot man. really helped. :D

[patrickJMT]

@IBFresh4Lyfe 10 problems is not very much : )

[CODKiller1000]

@patrickJMT dude ten every day for 180 days is 1800 a school year. now it sounds like quite alot, right?

[patrickJMT]

@CODKiller1000 no, it does not. it sounds like 10 a day which is not a lot.

[6928Viking]

@IBFresh4Lyfe yeah dude that aint nothing i gotta do about 35 question on it then take a test on it

[LuhhErinn13]

Where is 34/5 coming from ? Shouldn't it be 37/5 ?

[dajakesta1234]

when you used the point slope formula in 2:39-2:53 how did you choose which one is the one you want to subtract is there a rule for that?

[noemiissocoolio]

Omg thank you so much. This video really helped!

[CsquaredR]

thanks for the help :)

[DanxStar016]

@PatrickJMT can you be my math teacher instead? LOL

[FlameFury117]

thanks man



[Gawraddict]

WOO. OH YEAH. YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE. By the I mean you just saved me from flunking my math exam tomorrow. Thanks!? >:D Ima subscribe noooooooow..So glad I found this!?

[stephymtz5]

I like how collage professors like to make something as simple as this and turn it into a hurricane of numbers and letters. I'm subscribing :} very helpful!

[Prometheus1308]

3x-5y-36=0 is this still correct?

[ThisStuffIsLegit]

Thank you so much! I have my algebra final tomorrow and I really needed to brush up on point-slope form. This helped me a lot:)

[DxoxoE]

this is exactly how my algebra teacher does it!

[ELTURKO13BROOKLYN]

god bless your mind and your articulation!!!

[tej2208]

huh?

[MsTuttifrutty]

Thank you, I understand this, thank you soo much... :)

[nodesperada94]

you can use two point form in this given..

[patrickJMT]

@nodesperada94 i am not sure what you are trying to say

[nodesperada94]

@patrickJMT what I mean is, aside from point slope form, you can also use another method called two-point form.. it's easier.. but it's almost the same.. ;]] hehe.. don't mind it..

[patrickJMT]

@nodesperada94 oh ok, i was a bit confused : )

[MegaUraniumMan]

@patrickJMT Who said the internet isn't educational? But seriously I have the CST for Algebra II in two days and my teacher gave me a 49 page review packet for Algebra I and II and i completely forgot about this and you've helped alot, thank you :)

[pthefree]

Such a great video. It's been a year since i have taken algebra and i'm volunteering to tutor high schoolers. I'm teaching point slope and this video made more sense than the notes i took last year.

[coubs38]

your handwriting is sooo neat haha

[mezram]

Thank you. Better said than my wanna be professor

[sweetz863]

Ok I don't get it and I'll try my best to explain why

if m=y2-y1 over x2-x1 (obviously numbers 2 and 1 are lower) then why when finding m does it look like m=8-5 over 2-(-3)? that's saying y2-x2 over y1-x1?? help!!

[sweetz863]

@sweetz863 okie nvm, i was misinformed on points, i get it now.

[IFreshhPrince]

you taught me more than my teacher did lol

[deepdiver1101]

how did you go from 40/5 to 34/5?

[deepdiver1101]

never mind got it lol

[BookWormArielle]

@deepdiver1101 agreed. I took and distributed the slope of 3/5 to x and 2 in the parenthesis, and ended up with it like this:

y-8=3/5x (x-2)

then distributed...and got

y-8 = 3/5x - 1 1/5 +8 +8

_______________

Y= 3/5x + 6 4/5

So what have I done wrong?

[BookWormArielle]

@deepdiver1101 oh, -6 + 40= 34

[amandalalaland98]

Thankyou for explaining!!! Imm in 7th grade, and I was absent when the teacherr was explaining it...soo thankyouu!! =D

[nardosyosef213]

@amandalalaland98 i know- if you miss one day, you miss everything!!

[JetDriver1111]

thanks..you're a great teacher....better than my professor in college...

[123456789willwill]

as many times as i watch this and learn this in class i just cant get it in my head it so long to remember fml

[theadizo]

sorry but is the M not stand for Midpoint? i live in Ireland so names of formula's are different sometimes than in the States.Personally i think they should be the same worldwide.Thanks very much for the video !

[reddesire8]

great gotta watch this as part of my shitty algebra 2 project.

[magic0man47]

thanks man, i get it now and it's actually easy :) keep it up

[melo5dy]

WAIT! what do you mean about the " the only reason why i pick this cause they are both positive so that i dont have to worry about signs" line? :I

[vijuvijaysadan]

you are AMAZING!!!!!! i understand it now!!!!!!

[Thejazzteam]

you just saved my life

[jakegoesmoo]

thanks man helping me alot your the best

[DpStankHeals]

What do I do if y1 is 1? Just leave it as it is?

[MrFlyTheDragon]

Maths exam in a day. Your videos are helping me. A LOT :D

[bobflipinHHH]

thankz!!!

[crossbones911]

thanks alot man i dont know were i would be witjout your videos

[kindiboy]

Thanks alot, is it possible to show how to convert the point slope equation to the standard Ax + By = C ?

this is really helping either ways

[fullofgold55]

what if its a line with no dots

[SteelKahunas]

@fullofgold55 Lines are made up of many points. You can pick any points on that line that you want. Just because a dot isn't there, does not mean that points are not.

[alanr5111]

im watching this an hour before my exam =>

my plamnning system is superior

[Nani101]

You are my freaking hero.

[somjolkeo1]

Great. However, since your are a lefty, stay on the right side, especially if you are in a classroom environment.

[RojoGatto]

youtube>math class

[juliesingapore]

best resource on the net! I am a teacher and post your stuff on my blackboard account all the time for my kids to review! I am from Austin but live in Singapore. Keep up the awesome work!

[1loserq]

Left handed  ftw :0

[rapcity950]

COME TEACH AHHT MY SCHOOL NOWW

[PSNMiXeDy]

Thumbs up if your Algebra teacher or Geometry just tells you to read the book and not explain it to you or give an example.

[arisinphoenix]

Thank You. It totally makes sense.

[sakura488]

ad first it made sense but then you confused me. thats why i give it a down. you need to be slower... so some of us can understand where you're going and explain things more.

[patrickJMT]

@sakura488 okie dokie. then someone will tell me how f-in slow i am and complain about that.

[XxKitpuXx]

@sakura488 just pause it, if that dosn't work then watch it over again.

[greesygeezy]

thank you so much! You're a great teacher

[supersamster50]

U R A GENIUS!

[princesssaph]

thanks! my teacher is terrible. you make this so easy!

[Limedolphin]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! :DDDDD

[JayBlueToYou]

Why do I love this guy so much?

[Mariisoul5]

thanks this is really helpful :) it makes reviewing for precalc easier

you make it so much easier than my teacher

[Mariisoul5]

thanks this is really helpful :) it makes reviewing for precalc easier

[CocodriloNYC]

Im not gay but, I love you

[JosieWubsJB]

thx a lot! :)

[Abdallah0822]

thanks man

your so cool for doing these videos.

They really help alot.

[prettiestprincess16]

This helped me a lot thanks :D

[Ahartwick38]

You are my hero, PatrickJMT. I LOVE YOU!

[hugojoel16]

Thank you! You have help me a lot!

[marietoe15toe]

THANKS I GET IT NOW :) YOUR DOING VERY GREAT YOU KNOW

[patrickJMT]

@marietoe15toe thanks, but i always like to hear it : )

[nickypolkadotz]

that makes so much more sense than in class!!! thank you so much!

[patrickJMT]

@nickypolkadotz my pleasure!

[cobster123]

@patrickJMT You sir, are saving my AS maths grades :)

[AliJokers]

DUDE THX ALOT!!! YOU MAKE MORE SENSE THEN MY TEACHER

[atomicfarren]

awesome video. I have a quiz over this tomorrow and I was absent from class when the teacher was going over this. This was super helpful :)

[dancer4life19411]

what would be perpendicular to y=4x-2 and passes through (-8,2)

[abra5888]

you're a life saverrrrrrrrrrrrrr...thanks alot dude

[SolidSmoorf]

You sir, are a life saver

[tornado3591]

thanks alot dude

god bless u

[rindfeh]

dude, i saw this before a test, helped so much :D

[BlueEagle62O]

I dont get it am i the only one

[patrickJMT]

@BlueEagle62O probably not. but, you should not expect to get everything the 'first time' - math is too complicated for that.

[BlueEagle62O]

@patrickJMT dont worry I got it know .I just had to watch the rest of the video

[Nicho2177]

you really helped thanks

[cutandposthouse]

patrickJMT is the best teacher on youtube.

Clear, concise and to the point.

I learn way more here than in class.

I got an A on my last exam because of you Patrick!

I should ace the final tomorrow too!!!

[Littlelaurenindia]

absolute ledgend.

cant thank you enough!

[Talibatulilmi09]

wow! ths was great! i missed some lectures and i was totally lost!!!! never heard of ths "ponit slope" though interesting!.lol

[ytnx]

thank you very much.

i was doing my accounting problems and i couldn't continue because of this formula. thank you for explaining very well specialy when you said that we can use either points -3.5 or 2.8 to get the slope. some books that cost $100.00 written by famous mathematicians don't help. I hope you don't have a PHD, those are the worst teachers.

They shouldn't be teachers or write a book.

They can not be compared to your explanations.

[Puppydog321]

@ytnx you need the point- slope form for accounting??

[chrispuremexican]

im at the store

[MrRunarK]

What if you have four points? how do you find the equation of line ?

[yhevrah]

thanks man.. very helpful.. but, can u put all geometry topics on the same set of links? im having trouble browsing topics.. they're all mixed up..

[eatshrots]

YOU ROOOOOCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!! ...putting yaymath out of business hahaha

[patrickJMT]

no edu-tainment here

[cutandposthouse]

@eatshrots

LOL that's funny. It would break my heart if Patrick ever put on a Star Trek suit to explain exponents!

[devilpupfrazier]

this really really helped me!! thank you so so much!!

[spencers63]

This is ok, but am I the only one who wonders why this is the best America has out there? Seriously. Billions spent on education and the best online free math tutor is a guys hand with a small white board? LOL.

[bevon17]

@spencers63

i dono... you do have a point.

WE DO spend BILLIONS on education

and have the worst math scores

[SavannaBieber]

wow you are a good math teacher! my math teacher tried to teach me this for a week and i still didnt get it! and with you i understand after minutes. thank you! :)

[fdxnaoseinomes]

Many thank you!! i understand this :)

[ericleb01]

He overly complicated the distribution. Instead of doing 3/5x - 6/5, it could have been (3x - 2)/5, where he could have multiplied by five and distributed on the other side. I just hate fractions. :P

[lexiniece16]

this helped,the fractions was okay unless you weren't paying sincere attention,this indeed helped me,thank you for your time!

[hasnachos]

youtube can explain in 4 or 5 minutes wut my teacher can in 2 weeks. if i could bring a laptop to ninth grade i would watch all this stuff and in class and be done with homework in no time.

[BubbleFishxDD]

@hasnachos I bring a laptop to school 8D

[loiteringer]

get rid of the fractions -_-

[suprmacdaddy]

oh my god! thank you so much!! i have my final in algebra tomorrow and my algebra teacher sucks thanks so much for this (oh yeah and merry christmas lol)

[KiJoHe]

6(5)=30 not 40 but great video. A lot of help

[fxtfusion]

he did 8*5......

[lilpoprock69]

he was multiplying 8 by 5 to get a common denominator...he was correct :)

[ronlee247]

@KiJoHe

well, thats because it was 8(5). haha

[MoeTheMovie]

Good Video Thanks so much keep on making them :)

[LoveLauren42]

thanks! this wIll help me and my friends on our homework tonight!

[steven1477]

i don't get it

[aerospaceninjaMF]

i finally understand! yay. its not that hard anymore. but i have a feeling i still bpmbed the math test like i do on all of them cuz my teacher grades us lower on so bullshit stuff than if we actually get it wrong!

[neeneedavis37]

great video! we have to write it out in the general form but when I do I end up with my answer on the opposite side of the = sign from the answer in our book - what am I doing wrong

[aerospaceninjaMF]

i would do this if it dident have so many steps and i dident have so many of the problems and it was only worth 3 mf points

[fingustis]

Thanks a lot for your video! You have totally saved me from failing my NCEA Maths co-ordinate geometry end of year paper that i'm doing on monday

[bjreggae]

Me Too Cuz!

[fingustis]

Lol real? What city you in?

[bjreggae]

Umm Nelson, New Zealand!

[bjreggae]

Wbu?

[insertnameher333]

omg this helped me so much i have a test tomorrow! thank you for posting

[summiebee]

OMG too many steps!

[WePrank4Fun]

LOL u should his other vids this was nothing

[EloveBabe]

this is amazing! i wish he was my professor!

[NintendoTillDeath]

Holy shit man! you helped me an ass load! thanks :D!!!

[18camaron]

keep posting up math videos, you are really helpful thanks

[darkp93]

that helped alot!

[DistractedStudent]

YES! I LOVE MATH! XXDDD

*five star*

[AnnieThu]

instead of the formula

m= y2 - y1 over x2 - x1, can I just use a gradient? like increase in y over increae in x. Its much simpler to me, do I necessary need to know the fomrula to find m? If you know what I mean.. Thank you so much!!

[patrickJMT]

yes, use what you want! it is all the same thing : )

[tdog661]

yea circle u are such a fucking racist

[ahassan019]

thanks man

[XnikiXkikiX]

this guy is my savior...my teacher sux.

[CocodriloNYC]

@XnikiXkikiX LOL

[romiami]

how can I solve this:

Parallel to the line x - 3y =8 containing the point (0,0)

[proud2bechinese21]

the line is parallel so the slope is the same, which is 1/3 if u put it into this form:

-3y = -x + 8

3y = x - 8

y = 1/3 x - 8

then just use the videos equation and plug in (0,0)

[CircleSquareCrew]

chinese kid wuold

[proud2bechinese21]

im sry ?

i dont read gibberish

[CircleSquareCrew]

oh sorry, chin ping wo.

[proud2bechinese21]

that neither.

find more creative ways to be racist.

dumb nuts

[xFYSxNoChanc3]

ignore him
