Point-Slope Formula

Front

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

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

What do the variables y₁ and x₁ represent in the point-slope formula?

Back

y₁ and x₁ represent the coordinates of a specific point (x₁, y₁) on the line.

Front

What does the variable m represent in the point-slope formula?

Back

m represents the slope of the line.

Front

How can you convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert, solve for y to get the equation in the form y = mx + b.

Front

Given the point (2, 3) and slope m = 4, write the equation in point-slope form.

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
