Point slope Form

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

How do you convert a point and slope into point-slope form?

Back

To convert a point (x1, y1) and slope m into point-slope form, use the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Front

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.

Front

Given the point (-2, -1) and slope m = -3, write the equation in point-slope form.

Back

y + 1 = -3(x + 2)
