Point-Slope Form

Front

What is the Point-Slope Form of a linear equation?

Back

The Point-Slope Form is given by the equation: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where (x_1, y_1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

How do you convert a linear equation from Slope-Intercept Form to Point-Slope Form?

Back

To convert from Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b) to Point-Slope Form, identify a point (x_1, y_1) on the line and use the slope m in the Point-Slope Form equation.

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive or negative).

Given the point (2, 3) and slope 4, write the equation in Point-Slope Form.

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
