What is the only kind of line that Cannot be put into point-slope form?
vertical line
Other forms of linear equations One of the drawbacks of point-slope form is that it cannot be used to represent the equation of a vertical line, since vertical lines have undefined slopes.
What are the rules for point-slope form?
In point-slope form (which is written like this: (y – y1) = m(x – x1)), y1 is the y value of the known point on the line, m is the slope, and x1 is the x value of the known point. This form of a linear equation is derived from the equation for finding the slope of a line.
Can any equation in point-slope form also be written in slope-intercept form?
Graphing Equations Using Point-Slope Form If you are given an equation in point-slope form, it is not necessary to re-write it in slope-intercept form in order to graph it. The point-slope form of the equation gives you enough information so you can graph the line.

So the slope formMoreWe can easily just plug write them into the equation of the slope formula. So the slope form remember is M equals y2 minus y1 over x2 minus x1.
How do you go from point-slope form to undefined slope?
If the slope of a line is undefined, then the line is a vertical line, so it cannot be written in slope-intercept form, but it can be written in the form: x=a , where a is a constant. If the line has an undefined slope and passes through the point (2,3) , then the equation of the line is x=2 .
What happens when slope is undefined?
The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical. If you think of slope as rise over run, then the line rises an infinite amount, or goes straight up, but does not run at all.
How do you write an equation with a point and slope?
Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept).
Why do we use point slope form?
The point slope form (sometimes known as point-gradient form) is one of the three forms we can use to express a straight line. This form is useful because we can determine the equation of the line by simply knowing a single point on the line and the slope of the line.

How do you write points in point-slope form?
Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). Watch this video to learn more about it and see some examples.
