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

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (5, 6).

Back

Slope = (6 - 3) / (5 - 2) = 1

Front

What do parallel lines have in common regarding their slopes?

Back

Slopes of parallel lines are equivalent.
