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 m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.

How do you identify the slope (m) from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

If a line has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (2, 5), what is the point-slope form of the equation?

Back

y - 5 = 3(x - 2)
