Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

Mrs. Yaod introduces graphing linear equations using the slope-intercept form. She explains the concept of slope as the rate of change and demonstrates how to calculate it using two points. The lesson covers different types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. Students practice finding slopes through exercises and learn to determine slope and intercept from linear equations. The video concludes with graphing linear functions and identifying x and y intercepts.

What does the 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a line represent?
