5.2.2 Point-Slope Form − Worksheet
Example 1:
Graph the line with the given slope that contains the given point.
1. slope = 1; (l, 0)
2. slope = − 1; (3, l)
3. slope = − 2; ( − 4, − 2)
Example 2:
Graph the line described by each equation.
x 1 2 ( 4) + =− + 1
4. y − 1 = − ( x − 3)
5. y + 2 = − 2( x + 4)
6. y
Example 3:
Write the equation that describes each line in slope-intercept form.
1 3 , ( − 3, 8) is on the line.
7. slope = −
8. slope = 2, (l, l) is on the line.
9. ( − 2, 2) and (2, − 2) are on the line.
10. (l, l) and ( − 5, 3) are on the line.
11. x -intercept = 8, y -intercept = 4
12. x -intercept = − 2, y -intercept = 3
Example 4:
Each pair of points is on a line. Find the intercepts.
13. (5, 2) and (7, 4)
14. ( − 1, 5) and ( − 3, − 5)
15. (2, 9) and ( − 4, − 9)
Example 5:
16. An oil tank is being filled at a constant rate. The depth of the oil is a function of the number of minutes the tank has been filling, as shown in the table. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents this linear function. Then find the depth of the oil after one-half hour.
