Master How to write the equation of a line in slope intercept form given m and b

The video tutorial explains how to write equations in slope-intercept form, focusing on the formula Y = MX + B, where M is the slope and B is the Y-intercept. It provides examples with different values, including fractions and special cases like zero slope or intercept. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the role of each component in the equation and offers tips for simplifying expressions.

What does the 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The x-intercept

• The constant term

If the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -1, what is the equation in slope-intercept form?

• y = 2x + 1

• y = -2x - 1

• y = 2x - 1

• y = -2x + 1

In the equation y = -3/4x + 7, what is the y-intercept?

• -3/4

• 3/4

• 7

• -7

What happens to the equation y = mx + b when m = 0?

• The equation becomes y = b

• The equation becomes y = x + b

• The equation becomes y = 0

• The equation becomes y = mx

Why is the number one often not written in equations like y = x + 3?

• Because it is always zero

• Because it does not change the value

• Because it is not important

• Because it is a placeholder
