Exploring Slope-Intercept Form in Mathematics

This video tutorial covers the slope-intercept form of linear equations, focusing on understanding and identifying the y-intercept and slope from graphs and tables. It explains the equation y = MX + B, where M is the slope and B is the y-intercept. The video provides examples and practice exercises to find these values from different representations, helping viewers grasp the concept of linear relationships.

What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?

• The point where the line crosses the y-axis

• The point where the line crosses the x-axis

• The slope of the line

• The maximum value of y
