FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

To convert from point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a point-slope equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The point (x1, y1) is a specific point on the line, which is used as a reference to write the equation in point-slope form.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you identify the slope from a point-slope equation?

Back

In the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1), the coefficient of (x - x1) is the slope (m).

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the point-slope form equation for a line with slope 2 passing through the point (3, 5)?

Back

The point-slope form equation is y - 5 = 2(x - 3).

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you graph a line using the point-slope form?

Back

To graph a line using point-slope form, plot the point (x1, y1) on the graph, then use the slope (m) to find another point by moving up/down and left/right.
