Slope Intercept Form and Point Slope Form

Front

What is the formula for Point-Slope Form?

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

What is the Slope-Intercept Form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you convert Point-Slope Form to Slope-Intercept Form?

Back

Isolate y in the equation y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) to get y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

Given the slope m = 2 and the point (1, 3), write the equation in Point-Slope Form.

Back

y - 3 = 2(x - 1)
