Equations in point-slope form look like this. Y 4 x 4 6. Substitute either point into the equation.
Equations in point-slope form look like this.
While you could plot several points by just plugging in values of x the point-slope form makes the whole process simpler. M and want to find other points on the line. When the line is graphed m is the slope of the line and b is where the line crosses the y-axis or the y-intercept. This form is useful because we can determine the equation of the line by simply knowing a single point on the line and the slope of the line.
