Reading point-slope form

Printable practice with an answer key the engine computes, at three levels, in as many versions as you need.

Problem types

• read the slope: y − 3 = −4(x + 2): slope
• read the point: y + 5 = 2(x − 7): x-coordinate of the point
• find the y-intercept: y − 4 = 3(x − 2): the y-intercept is (0, b). b =
• find y at a given x: y − 1 = −2(x + 3): y when x = 2
• find the x-intercept: y − 6 = 2(x − 1): the x-intercept is (a, 0). a =
