Point Slope Form - YourTeacher.com - Algebra Help

For a complete lesson on point slope form, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn to write the equation of a line given a point on the line and the slope of the line, by using the point-slope formula, which states that given a point (x1, y1) and a slope m, the equation of the line can be written as y - y1 = m(x - x1). For example, if a line passes through the point (3, -2), and has a slope of 4, its equation can be written: y + 2 = 4(x - 3). From here, the equation can be converted to either slope-intercept or standard form. Note that a horizontal line passing through a given point has the equation y = the y-coordinate of the given point, and a vertical line passing through a given point has the equation x = the x-coordinate of the given point.

I ended up being in the nurses office for most of class, and when I got back, it was the middle of class, and she expected me to know everything! I couldn't even give her an answer cuz I was so confused. And in general, my teacher can't teach compared to you guys! thanks a ton for all the math help!

My teacher is pathetic compared to this guy.

This is the easy side of it get 2 points no slope and the slope has to be a fraction and be able to convert it to all other equations, then tell me if you get it.

Teachers shoud learn from this....al my teacher does is expect us to learn this on the first tryand then she frekin' yells at us when we do bad
