The video tutorial explains how to derive the equation of a graph in the form y = mx + b. It covers identifying the Y-intercept, which is where the graph crosses the Y-axis, and calculating the slope using a slope triangle. The tutorial concludes by combining these elements to write the final equation of the graph.

What is the general form of a linear equation?

• y = ax + b^2

• y = mx + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = a/x + b
