Assignment Write Compare the slope-intercept and point-slope forms of a linear equation. Remember The point-slope form of a linear equation is 1 5 m( 1 ), where m is the slope of the line and ( 1, 1 ) is a point on the line. The slope of a horizontal line is. The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Practice Write an equation in point-slope form. 1. m 5 ; (5, 6). m 5 9.; (17, 1) 3. (, 3) and (, ). (79, 5) and (7, 55) 5.
