Why can't all linear equations be written using point slope?
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.
Linear equations in point slope form?
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).
Can linear equations have minus signs instead of plus signs?
Yes, and it would be a negative slope.
What are the three forms of a linear equation?
1. Slope-intercept form (most commonly used in graphing) y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept 2. Standard form ax+by=c 3. Point slope form (most commonly used for finding linear equations) y-y1=m(x-x1) m=slope one point on the graph must be (x1,y1)
What is the basic equation for graphing linear equations?
y=mx+b m is slope. slope is rise over run b is y-int
