The Point-Slope Formula

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The point-slope formula turns one point and a slope into a line's equation: y − y₁ = m(x − x₁).

Show

Slope 2 through (1, 2): y − 2 = 2(x − 1), which unwraps to y = 2x, slope-intercept recovered.

Watch for

The subtracted coordinates belong to the known point.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
