The point slope form of a line is one that contains the point and the slope. It is (y-y1)=m(x-x1) Where (x1,y1) are the point on the line that you are given. The other (x,y) are any x and y and m is the slope. So if we have a point (1,2) just for example, and a slope m=3, then the point slope equation or form is (y-2)=3(x-1) Note: The point slope form is easy to remember. It comes directly from the definition of slope. The slope is the rise over the run, of (change in y values) divided (change in x values) Now call the slope m, and let a point we know be (x1,y1) and any other point on the line (x,y), then the slope is m=(y-y1)/(x-x1). Now multiply both sides by (x-x1) and you have the point slope form.
