Staff Review
This video explains a second method for writing the equation of a line if you are given the slope of the line and a point the line passes through. The point-slope form of a line is used in this lesson. This method works very well for this setup of having a point and a slope. Graphing the point and using the slope to find the y-intercept is also explained.
