Point-Slope Form

Front

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

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

What does 'm' represent in the point-slope form?

Back

The slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

A specific point on the line.

Front

How do you graph a line in point-slope form?

Back

Graph the given point (x₁, y₁) and use the slope 'm' to find other points.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y - 2 = 1/3(x - 3)?

Back

1/3

Front

For the equation y - 3 = 2(x + 4), what is the slope?

Back

2

Front

If a line has a slope of -1 and passes through the point (2, 3), what is its point-slope form?

Back

y - 3 = -1(x - 2)
