### About Point Slope Form:

When we work with linear equations in two variables, it is sometimes useful to algebraically manipulate the equation into different forms. Here we will test our ability to move between slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, point-slope form: y - y1 = m (x - x1), and standard form: ax + by = c.

Test Objectives
• Demonstrate the ability to write an equation in slope-intercept form
• Demonstrate the ability to write an equation in point-slope form
