Slope-Intercept Form Word Problems Challenge

The video tutorial reviews concepts from the previous unit, focusing on setting up equations in slope-intercept form for word problems. It explains the components of the equation, such as the slope, y-intercept, and variables, and provides an example problem involving a canoe rental service. The tutorial walks through solving the example step-by-step and concludes with instructions for the next assignment.
