What is the difference between slope-intercept form and point-slope form?

Slope-intercept (y=mx+c) is best when you know the slope and y-intercept; point-slope is best when you know the slope and any one point.

Slope-intercept (y=mx+c) is best when you know the slope and y-intercept; point-slope is best when you know the slope and any one point. A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
