FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Write the equation of a line in Point-Slope form that passes through (2, 3) with a slope of 4.

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
