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, which indicates the steepness and direction of the line.

Back

The point (2, 1) lies on the line.

Back

The y-intercept is 1, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you find a point on a line given in point-slope form?

Back

To find a point on a line given in point-slope form, substitute a value for x into the equation and solve for y.

Front

What does it mean if the slope 'm' is positive?

Back

If the slope 'm' is positive, it means that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

What does it mean if the slope 'm' is negative?

Back

If the slope 'm' is negative, it means that the line falls as it moves from left to right.
