Point Slope Review

Front

What is the Point Slope Form of a linear equation?

Back

The Point Slope Form is given by the equation: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.

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

Back

To convert from Point Slope Form (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)) to Slope Intercept Form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

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

Back

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