Linear Functions

Description

This image presents a variation of the previous graph, now with one coordinate highlighted. It introduces the case where the coordinates of one point are known, along with the slope of the line. This scenario sets the stage for introducing the point-slope form of a linear equation.

By incorporating this visual aid, teachers can help students transition from the two-point slope formula to the point-slope form. This image is particularly useful for demonstrating how different pieces of information about a line can be used to determine its equation.

Teachers can use this image to introduce the point-slope concept by saying: "Now, let's look at a different scenario. What if we only know one point on the line, but we also know the slope? How might we use this information to write an equation for the line? This is where the point-slope form becomes useful."
