Calculating equation of a line from point and slope


	Algebra I: Calculating equation of a line from point and slope

This mini-lesson explains how to write the equation of a line if we know its slope and a point on it. This form of equation of a line is called the point-slope form. As you'll see, equation of a line with slope m and passing through a point (a, b) is given by
y - b = m(x - a)
