Exploring Slope and Y-Intercept from Equations

The video tutorial explains how to identify and calculate the slope and y-intercept from both equations and graphs. It introduces the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, and describes how the m value represents the slope and the b value represents the y-intercept. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find these values graphically and through equation analysis, providing practical examples for better understanding.

What is the formula for slope-intercept form?

• x = by + m

• y = bx + m

• x = my + b

• y = mx + b
