Now Playing:Graph linear functions using a point and slope – Example 1a
Examples
  1. Graph the following line that passes through the given point and the slope
    1. (3,2); (-3, 2) ; m =23 {2 \over 3}

    2. (4,2); (4, -2); m = -35 {3 \over 5}

    3. (1,2); (1, 2); m = undefined

    4. (2,5); (2, 5); m = 0

    5. x int = 2; m = -1

    6. y int = -3; m = 32 {3 \over 2}

Distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}
Notes
If we are given a single point and the slope of a straight line, we will be able to graph it. By the same token, we can determine the slope and intercepts if we are given from its graph.
