Point-Slope Form

Front

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

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

What does 'm' represent in the point-slope form?

Back

Slope of the line.

Front

What does (x₁, y₁) represent in the point-slope form?

Back

A specific point on the line.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

Zero slope.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)?

Back

The coefficient 'm' in the equation.

Front

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

Back

It is a point through which the line passes.

Front

If the slope 'm' is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line decreases as it moves from left to right.

Front

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

Back

Rearrange the equation to solve for y.
