Equation of a line through two points: The algebraic expression that represents all points lying on the line passing through two given points, typically derived using the slope and point-slope form (see below).
Slope formula: (m) = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). It measures the steepness of the line, indicating how y changes with respect to x.
Point-slope form of a line: An equation format given by y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line and m is the slope. It is used to write the line's equation when the slope and a point are known.
Standard form of a linear equation: The general form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and A and B are not both zero. It provides a concise way to represent a line algebraically.
