Point Slope Form and Simplifying Radicals

Flashcards covering Point Slope Form, simplifying radicals, and related mathematical concepts from the lecture.

What is the Point Slope Form equation?

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

What are the steps to write an equation in Point Slope Form from a graph?

1. Find the slope of the graph. 2. Identify a point on the graph. 3. Substitute the point and slope into the Point Slope Form.

How do you simplify the radical √80?

√80 = 4√5

What does the slope (m) represent in an equation?

The slope represents the rate of change between the y-values and x-values.

Which of the following is a correct equation in Point Slope Form? A. y + 16 = - (x - 4), B. y - 16 = - (x + 4), C. y + 16 = -2(x + 4)

Depends on the specific values for slope and point from the graph.

What is the first step in simplifying radicals?

Look for perfect squares that can be factored out.

What is the slope of the graph if given as a value during calculations?

The numeric value representing the steepness or incline of the line.

How do you represent a function in Standard Form?

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

What is Direct Variation?

A relationship where one variable is a constant multiple of another, typically written as y = kx.

What are Literal Equations?

Equations that contain two or more variables.
