Question: what is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points?
Answer: The other format for straight-line equations is called the "point-slope" form. For this one, they give you a point (x1, y1) and a slope m, and have you plug it into this formula: y – y1 = m(x – x1) Don't let the subscripts scare you. They are just intended to indicate the point they give you.
