Exploring Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

This video tutorial explains the concept of slope-intercept form, a method for writing linear equations. It begins with defining linear functions and introduces the slope-intercept form equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The tutorial provides examples of writing equations using given slopes and intercepts, and demonstrates how to identify these from graphs. It concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

What does the 'M' in the slope-intercept form represent?

• Coefficient of Y

• Y-intercept

• X-intercept

• Slope
