Graphing lines in point-slope form worksheet
The form hands over a point and a slope. Plot the point, which means reading the signs backwards: y - 3 = 2(x + 1) goes through (-1, 3). Then step by the slope to a second point and join them.

How to do these
Graph
- The point is (-1, 3): the signs in the form are reversed.
- Slope 2: up 2, across 1, to (0, 5).
- Join the points.
The answer is slope , through and .
Where students go wrong
Plotting (1, -3) instead of (-1, 3). The form subtracts the coordinates, so what is printed is the opposite of the point.
Also called graphing y - y1 = m(x - x1) or point-slope graphing.
