What is the difference between slope intercept form and point slope form? Also, why can't you just use slope intercept form instead of point slope form? You can just substitute the y-intercept and slope for y=mx+b.

Answer:

1) point-slope form

2) slope intercept form


Explanation:

1) y−b=m(x−a)

m = slope

(a, b) A point that the line passes through


2) y=mx+b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

The required difference between slope intercept form and point-slope form line is when we have slope and y-intercept we use slope-intercept equation and when we have coordinates of a point on the line we use the point-slope form of the line.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is the tangent angle made by the line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is,


y =  mx +c   - - - - - - (1)

The point-slope form of the line is given by,


(y - y1) = m(x - x1)    - - - - - - (2)
where m is the slope of equation and m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x 1).

Thus, we use a slope-intercept form of the equation when we have given the slope of the line and y-intercept of the line. when we have a coordinate of one point and slope or more than two coordinates of points on the line so we use the point-slope form of the equation.
