How do your 7th grade Algebra students (I know, I know) see point slope form? y - y1 = m(x -x1). They are sooooo confused. Thank you!

I taught overseas during the pandemic, we were fully in school with little to no lapse.
Is an advanced 7th grade lack of what to do with 5.5x = 8 the missing grit from the pandemic?
