Linear Functions

Description

This image continues from the previous one, showing a rearrangement of the slope formula to derive the point-slope form. It demonstrates how algebraic manipulation can lead to a new, useful form of a linear equation.

By using this visual aid, teachers can guide students through the process of deriving the point-slope form. This image is particularly useful for students who benefit from seeing the step-by-step transformation of mathematical expressions.

Teachers can explain this derivation by saying: "Let's look at how we can rearrange the slope formula to get the point-slope form. Notice how we're isolating y on one side of the equation. This new form will allow us to easily write an equation when we know one point and the slope of a line."
