ALG 1 5.4 Point Slope Form

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form is given by the equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the point-slope form equation?

Back

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

Front

Given the point (5, -1) and slope -3, write the equation in point-slope form.

Back

y + 1 = -3(x - 5)
