What is the significance of the point (x_1, y_1) in point-slope form?

Back

The point (x_1, y_1) is a specific point on the line that the equation represents.

How do you determine if a point lies on the line represented by an equation?

Back

Substitute the x-value of the point into the equation and see if the resulting y-value matches the y-value of the point.
