Algebra.Com's Answer #206884 by oberobic(2304) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no 'point-intercept', so you can forget that. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "y = mx+b is the slope-intercept form. You can tell because you are given the slope, 'm', and the y-intercept, 'b'. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The other form is the point-slope form. You can tell this because you are not given the intercept or, by the process of exclusion, you know it is not the slope-intercept. \n" ); document.write( "The point-slope form is \n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m(x-x1) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " |
