Graphing Slope-Intercept Form Mastery

The video tutorial covers graphing equations in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. It begins with a review of the slope-intercept form, explaining the roles of the slope (m) and y-intercept (b). The tutorial outlines four steps for graphing equations: ensuring the equation is in slope-intercept form, plotting the y-intercept, using the slope to plot additional points, and connecting the points to form a line. Several examples are provided to illustrate these steps, along with practice problems. The lesson concludes with a preview of upcoming activities and a reminder about a Google Meet session for further assistance.

What is the general form of a slope-intercept equation?

• y = ax + b

• y = mx - b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

• The slope

• The constant term

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

If the slope fraction is 2/3, which direction do you move?

• Up 2 units, right 3 units

• Down 2 units, left 3 units

• Down 3 units, left 2 units

• Up 3 units, right 2 units

How do you graph the y-intercept of an equation?

• Plot it at the origin

• Plot it on the x-axis

• Plot it on the y-axis

• Plot it at any point

What is the first step in graphing an equation in slope-intercept form?

• Plot additional points

• Identify the slope

• Identify the y-intercept

• Ensure the equation is in y = mx + b form

For the equation y = 4x - 4, what is the y-intercept?

• 4

• -4

• 0

• 1

In the equation y = -x + 7, what is the slope?

• -1

• -7

• 7

• 1

How do you make a whole number a fraction?

• Subtract 1 from it

• Put it over 1

• Multiply it by 1

• Divide it by 2

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 2x?

• 0

• 2

• -2

• 1

What should you do if the equation is not in slope-intercept form?

• Ignore the equation

• Graph it as it is

• Convert it to y = mx + b form

• Use a different method
