Understanding Slope and Y-Intercept

The video tutorial covers the basics of slope-intercept form, explaining how to identify the slope and y-intercept from an equation. It provides examples to illustrate these concepts, including how to complete an equation when given a slope and y-intercept. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the form y = mx + b and applying it to solve problems.

What is the general form of a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

• y = mx + b

• y = b + mx

• x = my + b

• b = mx + y
