Slope-Intercept Equations from Graphs

The video tutorial explains how any linear equation can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It demonstrates how to verify the y-intercept by substituting x = 0 and explains the concept of slope using examples. The tutorial also covers graphing linear equations by identifying slopes and y-intercepts, analyzing line equations, and graphing various lines to understand their properties.

What is the general form of a linear equation?

• y = mx + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c
