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

What does the slope 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.

Front

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

Back

y + 1 = -3(x - 5)
