Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m (x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). We can rewrite an equation in point …

When we have a linear equation in point-slope form, we can quickly find the slope of the corresponding line and a point it passes through. This also allows us to graph it.

Walk through a graphical explanation of how to find the slope from two points and what it means.

Learn Slope-intercept equation from graph Writing slope-intercept equations Slope-intercept equation from slope & point Slope-intercept equation from two points Constructing linear …

Learn how to write the slope formula from scratch and how to apply it to find the slope of a line from two points.

Slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of linear equations highlights the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of a line. Watch this video to learn more about it and see some examples.

It's actually hard (and not necessary in most cases) to go from standard form to point-slope form, because there is an infinite number of point-slope form equations for a linear function.

Worked examples of finding the slope of a line given its equation, using many forms of equations.

The slope, or steepness, of a line is found by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run). The formula is slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the …
