Writing an equation given the slope and y intercept

The video tutorial explains how to find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, Y = MX + B. It covers the meaning of each component: M as the slope, B as the y-intercept, and X and Y as the coordinate points on the line. An example equation, Y = -2/5X + 8, is provided to illustrate the concept.
