Answer:
slope
point-slope form
correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a line and you know the coordinates of a point on the line, (x1, y1); and you know the <u>slope</u>, m, you can write the equation of the line in <u>point-slope form</u>, y - y1 = m(x - x1). 2 variable data whose point pattern can be represented best by a line is said to have a linear <u>correlation</u>.
The slope, meaning how steep a line is, is represented by the variable m for linear equations.
y - y1 = m(x - x1) is point-slope form, one type of linear equation to represent a straight line. (There is also standard form and slope-intercept form).
Correlation is the relationship between things, like 2 variable data.
