Graphing Linear Functions in Slope Intercept Form

This video tutorial provides a concise guide to graphing linear functions. It begins by explaining that f(x) and y are equivalent, and demonstrates how to rewrite functions in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b. The tutorial then details how to identify the slope and y-intercept, and use these to plot points on a graph. By applying the slope repeatedly, viewers learn to construct a linear graph. The video concludes by reiterating key concepts and encouraging viewers to subscribe for more lessons.

What does f(x) represent in a function?
