In the point-slope equation \( y - Y_1 = m (X - X_1) \):

  1. What does y represent?

    • y represents the dependent variable or the value of the function at a specific point along the line for a given x-coordinate.

  2. What does the variable m represent?

    • m represents the slope of the line, indicating the rate of change of y with respect to x. It describes how steep the line is.

  3. What does X1 represent?

    • X1 represents the x-coordinate of a specific point (X1, Y1) on the line.

To clarify the other questions in your list:

  • The x-coordinate corresponds with X1.
  • The slope corresponds with m.
  • The y-coordinate corresponds with Y1 (or y if discussing a point above).
