Example: Write the point-slope form for the equation of the
line through the point (-2, 5) with a slope of 3.
Use the point-slope form, y – y1 = m(x – x1), with m = 3 and
(x1, y1) = (-2, 5).
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – 5 = 3(x – (-2)) Let m = 3, let (x1, y1) = (-2, 5).

= - 1
Calculate the slope. m =
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y + 2 = - 2 (x – 1)
Use m = - 2 and the point (1, -2).
y = -2(x – 1) - 2
y = -2x + 2 - 2
y = -2x + 0 y = -2x

1. Raymond ordered rose bushes for his
back yard. They cost $15 each. The
shipping cost was $10. If his bill was $85,
how many rose bushes did he order? – VARIABLES: r (rose bushes) and s (shipping)
– EQUATION: 15 r + s = 85
– SOLVE: 15 r + 10 = 85
15 r = 75
r = 5
Raymond ordered 5 rose bushes
