do u guys know when this formula is used?
Y-Y1 = M(X-X1)
M= slope
I think this was a geometry course.
Y-Y1 = M(X-X1)
M= slope

this is to set up an equation of a line when all you know is one point (x1,y1) on the line and the slope of the line (m).

I forgot to say that, in addition to (x1, y1) being known, M (slope) is also known. Just FYI, to draw a line (or find the equation of a line) you need either:
a) two points, or
b) a point and a slope.
The equation you asked about is for (b).
