Question

Hello!!!!! Could someone please explain to me in a simple manner what the slope intercept form is as well as what the point slope form is? Are they the same thing? What does form mean? Thank you soooo much in advance!!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

They're both ways of expressing the equation of a line. Depending on the information you're given, it's easier to use one or the other. Like if you're given the slope and y intercept, it might be easier to use slope intercept equation. If you're given 2 points on a line, it might be easier to calculate the slope between them and then use the pointslope equation using one of the two points given to find the euqation of the line.
