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 (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.

Front

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

Back

To convert, solve for y: y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept.

Given the point (2, 3) and slope 4, write the equation in point-slope form.

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
