Point Slope Form

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x=0, indicating where the line crosses the y-axis.

To convert from point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

The point-slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Using point-slope form: y - 5 = 3(x - 2), which simplifies to y = 3x - 1.

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m) but different y-intercepts (b).

The slope of the line is -4.
