Equations of lines

Equation Description
y = mx + b Slope-intercept form: slope m , y-intercept b
y – y1 = m(x – x1) Point-slope form: slope m , line passes through  (x1 , y1)
 x= k Vertical line: x –intercept k, no y – intercept (except when k = 0), undefined slope
y = k Horizontal line : y-intercept k, no x-intercept (except when k = 0 ), slope 0
