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

How do you convert Point-Slope Form to Slope-Intercept Form?

Back

To convert from Point-Slope Form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that rises from left to right is positive.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that falls from left to right is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Given the point (2, 3) and a slope of 4, write the equation in Point-Slope Form.

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
