Determining the slope & y intercept when an equation is not in slope intercept form ex 14

The video tutorial explains how to write an equation in slope-intercept form and identify the slope and y-intercept. It highlights common mistakes students make, such as confusing the slope and intercept values. The tutorial demonstrates the process of simplifying an equation to isolate the y variable and achieve the desired form. By the end, viewers should understand how to correctly identify the slope and y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form.

What is a common mistake students make when identifying the slope and y-intercept?

• Not isolating the y variable

• Forgetting to distribute terms

• Mixing up the slope and y-intercept

• Confusing the x and y variables

What is the first step in transforming an equation to slope-intercept form?

• Subtracting a constant from both sides

• Multiplying both sides by a constant

• Distributing terms

• Adding a constant to both sides

After distributing, what should be done to isolate the y variable?

• Divide both sides by a constant

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Subtract a constant from both sides

What is the slope of the equation y = 2x + 5?
