Exploring Graphing Lines in Algebra 1

This video tutorial covers graphing lines using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. It begins with an introduction to the form, explaining the significance of the slope (m) and y-intercept (b). The tutorial then provides multiple examples of graphing different equations, demonstrating how to rearrange equations into slope-intercept form and plot them on a graph. Each example is explained step-by-step, highlighting the process of identifying the slope and y-intercept, and plotting points on a coordinate plane.

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

• Slope

• X-intercept

• Coefficient of Y

• Y-intercept

How do you find the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

• It's the slope

• It's the constant term

• It's the variable y

• It's the coefficient of x

How do you graph a line starting with a positive y-intercept?

• Move left on the X-axis

• Move up on the Y-axis

• Move down on the Y-axis

• Move right on the X-axis

What operation is used to isolate Y in an equation?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

When graphing a line with a negative slope, which direction do you move from the y-intercept?

• Up and right

• Up and left

• Down and right

• Down and left

What does a y-intercept of 4 indicate about a graph?

• It crosses the Y-axis at 4

• It crosses the X-axis at 4

• It has a slope of 4

• It has a slope of -4

How do you adjust an equation to make Y the subject if it involves division?

• Multiply each term by the divisor

• Add the divisor to each term

• Divide each term by the divisor

• Subtract the divisor from each term

If an equation is not in slope-intercept form, what is the first step to take?

• Find the slope

• Graph the equation

• Isolate Y

• Identify the y-intercept

What is the slope of a line represented by y = -2x - 2?

• 1

• -2

• 2

• -1

What does the slope of -1 indicate in a graph?

• For every unit down, move one unit left

• For every unit down, move one unit right

• For every unit up, move one unit left

• For every unit up, move one unit right
