Point - Slope Form

Front

What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

What is the significance of the point (x1, y1) in the point-slope form?

Back

The point (x1, y1) is a specific point on the line that the equation describes.

How do you determine if a point lies on a line given in point-slope form?

Back

Substitute the x-coordinate of the point into the equation and check if the resulting y-value matches the y-coordinate of the point.
