Point Slope form is important because it can give us another set of coordinate pairs when we are only given one. When you have the two coordinate pairs, we are able to find the slope of the line using
Y2-Y1
-------
X2-X1
Note: The slope is used to find how much y changes(increase/decreases) when x increases by one.

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).
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
What is the point slope form of an equation?
Point-slope form is just another way to express a linear equation. It uses two (any two points that fall on the line) and the slope of the line (Therefore the name point-slope form).y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1)...with m as the slope.
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
What is point slope form and slope intercept form?
y=mx+b is slope-intercept form y - y1 = m(x - x1) is point-slope form Used in algebra based math. On a graph; m is the slope b is the y-intercept x and y represent points
