Q

How do you find the hidden point in point slope form? y-y=m(x-x)

A

to get your (x,y), take the opposite of the number next to the x to get your x, and take the opposite of the number next to the y to get your y

Q

What is a trick to identify the correct form?

A

Look at the equal sign. What is to the left?
just a y ? then slope intercept
a y + or - something? then point slope
an X and a Y? then standard
