writing equation in 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 - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

What do you need to write an equation in point-slope form?

Back

You need a slope (m) and a point (x1, y1) on the line.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of an equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of an equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Front

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (1, 2) with a slope of 4.

Back

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)
