Given a straight line with slope m and a point (p,q) on the line, the point-slope formula of the line is
(y - q) = m(x - p)
It is used to represent a straight line in the Cartesian plane. This allows techniques of algebra to be used in solving problems in geometry.

The quadratic formula is used to solve the quadratic equation. Many equations in which the variable is squared can be written as a quadratic equation, and then solved with the quadratic formula.
The quadratic formula cannot be used to solve an equation if the coefficient of the equation's x2-term is 0.
When an equation cannot be solved for "x" to find the zeroes, the quadratic formula can be used instead for the same purpose.

The quadratic formula can be used to solve an equation only if the highest degree in the equation is 2.
