Front

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

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

How do you convert a point-slope equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate y to get y = mx + b.

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

Back

A specific point on the line.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (3, 5), what is its point-slope form?

Back

y - 5 = 2(x - 3)
