What is the Point Slope Formula?
The Point Slope Formula, states that
given a point (x₁, y₁) and a slope m,
the equation of the line can be written as
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Point Slope Form
Learn to write the equation of a line given a point on the line and the slope of the line, by using the point-slope formula, which states that given a point (x₁, y₁) and a slope m, the equation of the line can be written as y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) This video covers how to find the equations of lines if you know the slope and a point using the point-slope formula. How to write equations of lines given the slope and a point on the line. Shows how to graph a line if you know the slope and one point on the line.
