Writing Linear Equations from Situations and Graphs

The video tutorial covers writing linear equations in slope-intercept form from situations and graphs. It begins with an introduction to the slope-intercept form, explaining the components of the equation y = mx + b. The tutorial provides examples, such as calculating monthly costs for Greta's pottery studio and deriving equations from graphs. It also includes scenarios like a video club membership and a gift card, demonstrating how to write equations from descriptions and graphs.

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

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx^2 + b

• y = a/x + b

• y = mx + b
