4.2 Point Slope Form

Front

What is Point-Slope Form?

Back

Point-Slope Form is an equation of a line in the form y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

How do you convert Point-Slope Form to Slope-Intercept Form?

Back

To convert from Point-Slope Form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in Point-Slope Form?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Write the Point-Slope Form of the line with slope 2 passing through the point (3, 4).

Back

y - 4 = 2(x - 3)
