it is a form of an equation. like y intercept form is "y=mx+b."
it is like: y-y1= m(x-x1)
say ur were given a point and a slope... lets say (2,1) and the slope(m) is 5
u would right it out like this:
Y-1=5 * (x-2)
hope this helps!

That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
Point-slope form is written as: y-y1=m(x-x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope (hence the name, point-slope form).
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
point of intersection
Because of undefined slope, because undefined slope does not have a slope it doesn't have anything to substitute for m in the point slope equation.
