Learn to identify the slope & y intercept when an equation is not in slope intercept form

The video tutorial explains how to determine the slope and Y-intercept of a linear equation by writing it in slope-intercept form, Y = MX + B. It covers isolating the variable, solving for Y, and identifying the slope (M) and Y-intercept (B) from the equation. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to rearranging the equation and understanding the components of the slope-intercept form.

What is the general form of the slope-intercept equation?

• Y = CX + D

• Y = MX + B

• Y = BX + C

• Y = AX + B

What is the first step in isolating the variable Y in an equation?

• Add X to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Subtract Y from both sides

• Add Y to both sides

After adding Y to both sides, what is the next step to solve for Y?

• Add 2X to both sides

• Subtract 2X from both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Multiply both sides by 4

In the equation Y = -2X + 4, what is the slope?

• 0

• 2

• 4

• -2

What is the Y-intercept in the equation Y = -2X + 4?

• (0, -2)

• (0, 4)

• (4, 0)

• (-2, 0)
