Writing Linear Equations from Graphs in Slope-Intercept Form

The video tutorial explains how to write equations in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) from graphs, including special cases like horizontal and vertical lines. It introduces the HOY VUX acronym to remember characteristics of these lines. The tutorial provides examples of writing equations for lines with positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes, emphasizing the importance of identifying the slope and y-intercept from graphs.

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

• Y-intercept

• X-intercept

• Rise over run
