Point-Slope Form (Jump to: Lecture | Video )

In a previous lecture, I introduced Slope-Intercept Form:

y = mx + b

Another method of representing a linear equation is called Point-Slope Form

Above, we have the same information written in both Slope-Intercept Form and Point-Slope Form. You can see the linear equation graphed to the right.
