What is scope and why does url lead to the path of the created object in form_with?

Question

Ruby on Rails

There is a piece of code from form_with:

<%= form_with scope: :article, url: articles_path, local: true do |form| %>
Какие-то формы...
<% end %>

What is "scope:" and why does the url lead to "articles_path" and not to any other page that should accept form data? "local: true" just turns off AJAX? ":article" is just the name of the parameter we pass to the model?
