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

Front

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

Back

To write the equation, use the formula y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), substituting (x₁, y₁) with the given point and m with the given slope.

Front

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

Back

In the point-slope form, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2)
