| standard form | Ax + By = C where A, B, and C are integers |
| point-slope form | the equation of a straight line in the form y − y1 = m(x − x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) are the coordinates of a given point on the line |
| slope intercept form | y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept |
| x - intercept | where the graph crosses the x-axis |
| y-intercept | where the graph crosses the y-axis |
| slope | a measure of the steepness of a line |
