What does the point (x_1, y_1) represent in the point-slope form?

Back

The point (x_1, y_1) represents a specific point on the line described by the equation.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line descends from left to right.

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness of the line and the direction it moves; a larger absolute value means a steeper line.

How can you determine if a point lies on a line given in point-slope form?

Back

Substitute the x and y coordinates of the point into the equation. If the equation holds true, the point lies on the line.
