How to Use the Point-Slope Formula
Description
A detailed tutorial on the point-slope formula. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to find the equation of a line using the point-slope formula for reference.
Overview
There are many different formulas for basic graphing, and one of these is the point-slope formula. As you may have guessed from the name, in order to use this formula you must already have the slope and a point on the line. This formula is used to find the equation of a line. This is the point-slope formula:
Where the variable m stands for the slope, stands for the y-intercept minus the y-coordinate of the point, and
stands for the x-intercept minus the x-coordinate of the point.
