Question 1009632: Write the point-slope form of the equation with the given characteristics.

1. slope=2 ; y-intercept=3

2. slope=-2 ; passes through (-3,5)

3. parallel to the line y=3/5x-8 ; passes through (0,-3)

4. perpendicular to the line y=-2x-7 ; passes through (-3,10)

Point-slope form equation comes from formula for slope according to its definition.

Points (p,w) and (x,y) have a slope .


------point-slope equation form, slope m, known point (p,w).


You will handle questions 1 and 2 yourself.

#3, if parallel, then slope is the same.



#4, if perpendicular, then slope to use is the negative reciprocal.
