the form of a linear equation that shows the slope and one point is the...?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

"slope one-point" form?

anonymous · Answer

point slope form

anonymous · Answer

Is the "one point" reference to the intercept, (0,c)?
Slope-intercept / y = mx + c

amistre64 · Answer

yeah, that "one point" seems a bit vague to me.

anonymous · Answer

Because if it isn't I have no idea and have never heard of it =)

anonymous · Answer

the point-slope form clearly shows the slope and one point ...

anonymous · Answer

Point Slope Form

anonymous · Answer

it was one point form

anonymous · Answer

The slope intercept form can show it too

anonymous · Answer

Welll I haven't done algebra since high-school so I don't remember the names of the different forms of basic graphs.

anonymous · Answer

the form of a linear equation that shows the slope and one point is the...?

y = mx + b = slope intercept form. It shows the slope (m) and one point. It shows the y intercept point

y - y1 = m(x - x1) = Point slope form. It shows the slope(m) and one point (x1, y1)  

So both are correct I would think

thnx, happy new year to you too :)

anonymous · Answer

missed you here.  welcome back.

amistre64 · Answer

i missed being here .... but i taught meself the linear algebra stuff while I was offline ;)

anonymous · Answer

good you can share it with me.  one never knows enough linear algebra.

amistre64 · Answer

oh its rather convoluted fer sure; gotta be done with computers for anything that represents real life situations

anonymous · Answer

oh then i will not understand it. 
about every 4 years or so i once again look at some linear algebra. one day it will stick
