Question

When you have an equation in point slope form, does it matter which points you use?

Answer 1

point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
when m = slope and given the point (x1, y1)

the point just has to be a point on the line :)

Answer 2

No, it doesn't..any point on the line will do.

\(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

Where \(y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(m\) is the slope.

Answer 3

Thank you both. :)

Answer 4

No problem.
