Using point-slope form, write the equation of a line that goes through the point (3, -5) and has a slope of 2.  Then, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.  

Point-Slope = y + 5 = 2(x - 3)

Slope-Intercept = y = 2x - 11

A hot air balloon is at an altitude of 500 feet. It begins to descend and after 2 minutes is at an altitude of 300 ft.  The graph represents the change in feet, y, over time, x, minutes. 

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the function.  

Explain the meaning of the equation in terms of the situation. 


y  = -100x + 500

This means that the hot air balloon began at an altitude of 500 ft and is descending at a rate of 100 ft per minute.

Tyler teaches painting classes in which the amount of money he makes depends on the number of participants he has.  For each additional participant, he earns $35.  For five participants, he earns $225.

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that describes this scenario.  Then, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.  What does the y-intercept represent in context?

 Point: (5, 225)

point-slope form: y - 225 = 35(x - 5)

slope-intercept form: y = 35x + 50. 

In this problem, the y-intercept of 50 tells us that when there are 0 participants, Tyler earns $50.

A mountain road is 5 miles long and gains elevation at a constant rate. After 2 miles, the elevation is 5500 feet above sea level. After 4 miles, the elevation is 6200 feet above sea level.


  1. Find the elevation of the road at the point where the road begins.

  1. Describe where you would see the point in part (1) on a graph where y represents the elevation in feet and x  represents the distance along the road in miles.

  1. The beginning elevation is 4,800 ft

  2. The point would be at (0, 4800), which would represent 0 miles down the road, or the beginning of the road, being at an elevation of 4,800 ft above sea level.

In addition to a flat hourly rate, Elena’s aunt pays her $1.50 for each call she makes to let people know about her aunt’s new business.  After 10 phone calls, Elena earned $25.00. 

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that describes this scenario.  Then, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.  What does the y-intercept represent in context?

Point-Slope: y - 25 = 1.50(x - 10)

Slope-Intercept: y = 1.5x + 10

In this context, the y-intercept of 10 tells us that Elena earns a flat rate of $10 before making any phone calls.

Explain the meaning of the equation in terms of the situation. 

y = 15x + 750

This means that the initial cost of the tables was $750, and Lin pays $15 per month for the streaming service.
