Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

The video tutorial explains how to graph a line using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. It identifies the y-intercept (b) and the slope (m) from the equation, demonstrating how to plot the y-intercept on the graph and use the slope to find additional points. The tutorial emphasizes the concept of 'rise over run' to understand the slope and provides a step-by-step guide to plotting the line. It concludes with a brief mention of more complex examples where the equation is not solved for y.

What does the slope -2/1 indicate about the movement on the graph?

• Up 1, Right 2

• Down 1, Left 2

• Down 2, Right 1
