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.

How do you write the equation of a line in Point-Slope form given a point and a slope?

Back

To write the equation, use the formula y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), substituting (x₁, y₁) with the given point and m with the given slope.

What does the 'm' represent in the Point-Slope Form?

Back

In the Point-Slope Form, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

If a line has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (10, 5), what is the Point-Slope form of the equation?

Back

y - 5 = -3(x - 10)
