Section 5-5

__Point-Slope Form Formula-__ When you have a Point-Slope equation you plug in the coordinates. Always double check that the coordinates are in the right place.

**Example 1:**

You use the Point-Slope Formula and plug in the coordinates and m.

When you plug in it should look like this.



After this part you are __**DONE!**__

**Rules:** __Rules for Point Slope when you need to solve for m__ 1. Use the formula to solve for m. 2. Plug in x, y, and m into point slope equation.


 * Example 2:

** Plug in the coordinates into the formula and solve. Plug in either coordinate set and m into the Point-Slope equation.

__Rules when you don't need to solve for m__ 1. Plug in your x and y coordinates, along with your slope (m) Plug in your coordinates.
