what is the point slope form of y=1x+2

Question

i need help answering this question. i cant find anything about point slope form

Answer 1

The point slope form is Y- Y₁ = m(X - X₁)

 

where m is the slope

 

and Y₁ and X₁ are the x and y values of a point on the line.

 

It this case y = x +2 is in the slope intercept form  so we know that the slope = 1 (coefficient of x)

 

and the point (0,2) is a point on the line (intercept)

 

therefore

 

Y -2 = X - 0

 

or Y -2 = X  is the point slope form of the line
