Point Slope Form

Front

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

Back

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

How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from point-slope form (y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

What does the slope (m) represent in the point-slope form?

Back

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

Given the point (2, 3) and a slope of -1, write the equation in point-slope form.

Back

y - 3 = -1(x - 2)
