Question

is point slope and slope intercept the same?
both end with an answer in the style of : y = mx + b

anonymous · Answer

Slope intercept is the equation, slope is rise over run

Technically, no they're not the same. Would you care to know why?

yes of course cx

jadeishere · Answer

Lol okay. They have different formulas, basically.

slope-intercept form is where y = mx + b

point-slope form is where $$y- y _{1}= m(x - x _{1})$$




you are right that they end in slope-intercept, but most often, most linear equations do :) so i hope this helps >.<
