im doing algebra and im deeply confused. right now im doing slopes, can someone give me an example of how to do a point-slope form equation?

Question

Tranquility · Answer

point-slope form equation is

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

where $ m$ is the slope and $ (x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line

You can choose any number you want for m, $x_1$, and $ y_1$ and put it into the equation
