Front

How do you write the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Front

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

Back

Rearrange the equation to solve for y: y = mx + b.
