Front

Write the equation in point-slope form for the line that contains the points (-2, -3) and (4, 3).

Back

y + 3 = 1(x + 2)

Front

For the equation y - 3 = 2(x + 4), what point does the line contain?

Back

The point is (-4, 3).

Front

Which of these represents point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Front

Front

Define point-slope form of a linear equation.

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
