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 in point-slope form, 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 slope (m) represent in the point-slope form?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

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)
