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 identify the slope from the point-slope form?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

y - 4 = 2(x - 3)
