The video tutorial guides viewers through comparing two linear functions represented differently. It involves converting a verbal description into a linear equation by identifying the Y-intercept and slope. The tutorial explains the standard form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where 'b' is the Y-intercept and 'm' is the slope. The verbal description indicates a Y-intercept of 12 and a slope of 2, leading to the equation y = 2x + 12. The video concludes by verifying the correct equation among given choices.

What is the main challenge Hester faces in the problem?

• Finding the y-intercept of a function

• Comparing two linear functions represented differently

• Solving a quadratic equation

• Understanding the concept of slope

What does the y-intercept of 12 signify in the context of the problem?

• The slope of the function

• The x-intercept of the function

• The rate of change of the function

• The starting point on the y-axis

How does the function change for each horizontal increase of one unit?

• It increases by one unit

• It increases by two units

• It remains constant

• It decreases by two units

What is the slope of the linear function described?

• 1

• 0

• 2

• 12

Which part of the equation y = mx + b does the number 2 represent?

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

• The slope

• The constant term

What is the correct linear equation derived from the verbal description?

• y = 12x + 2

• y = x + 12

• y = 2x + 12

• y = 2x - 12

Why is the equation y = 2x + 12 the correct choice?

• It has the correct x-intercept

• It has the largest y-intercept

• It has the correct slope and y-intercept

• It is the only equation with a positive slope

Which equation does not match the verbal description due to an incorrect y-intercept?

• y = x + 12

• y = 2x + 12

• y = 2x - 12

• y = 12x + 2

What is the mistake in the equation y = 12x + 2?

• The x-intercept is incorrect

• The equation is not linear

• The y-intercept is incorrect

• The slope is incorrect

Which equation has a negative y-intercept, making it incorrect?

• y = 2x + 12

• y = 12x + 2

• y = x + 12

• y = 2x - 12
