Writing the equation of a line in slope intercept form

The video tutorial explains how to convert an equation into slope-intercept form, which is expressed as Y = MX + B, where M is the slope and B is the y-intercept. The instructor demonstrates how to plug in values for the slope and y-intercept to form the equation and provides tips on simplifying and graphing the equation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the concept of rise over run and converting whole numbers to fractions for easier graphing.

What does the 'M' represent in the slope-intercept form of an equation?

• The slope

• The constant term

• The y-intercept

• The x-coordinate

If you know the slope and y-intercept, how can you form the equation in slope-intercept form?

• By adding them together

• By multiplying them

• By substituting them into y = mx + b

• By dividing them

What is the simplified form of the equation y = -3x + (-2)?

• y = -3x - 2

• y = -3x + 2

• y = 3x + 2

• y = 3x - 2

How can expressing a whole number as a fraction help in graphing?

• It changes the slope

• It makes the equation more complex

• It helps in identifying the rise over run

• It alters the y-intercept

What is the benefit of rewriting the slope as a fraction?

• It helps in visualizing the slope as rise over run

• It makes the equation harder to solve

• It changes the y-intercept

• It simplifies the equation
