Point Slope Form

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

How do you identify the slope from a point-slope equation?

Back

In the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1), the slope m is the coefficient of (x - x1).

What does the point (x1, y1) represent in the point-slope form?

Back

The point (x1, y1) represents a specific point on the line.

Front

If a line has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2, 4), what is the point-slope form of the equation?

Back

y - 4 = -3(x - 2)
