Analyzing Exponential and Logarithmic Relationships

The video tutorial explains the concept of linear equations, focusing on the equation y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. It then explores non-linear relationships and how to determine constants using logarithms. The tutorial demonstrates plotting graphs to analyze relationships and discusses exponential relationships, providing methods to find constants in such equations.
