Learn how to write the equation in slope intercept form and identify slope and y interce

The video tutorial explains how to graph equations using slope and intercept. It begins by introducing the importance of identifying the slope and intercept in standard or slope-intercept form. The teacher demonstrates how to isolate the Y variable by undoing operations and solving for Y. The process of identifying the slope (M) and Y-intercept (B) from the equation is covered, emphasizing the representation of slope as a ratio and intercept as a coordinate point. The tutorial concludes with a reminder to write slopes as fractions and intercepts as points for clarity.

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

• Add terms to both sides

• Isolate the variable X

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Isolate the variable Y

When solving for Y, why do we divide by negative one?

• To make the equation more complex

• To change the sign of Y

• To eliminate fractions

• To simplify the equation

What does the slope represent in the slope-intercept form?

• The constant term

• The rate of change

• The X-intercept

• The Y-intercept

How should the slope be expressed in the slope-intercept form?

• As a ratio

• As a whole number

• As a decimal

• As a coordinate point

What is the Y-intercept in the equation Y = 5X - 6?

• (0, 5)

• (-6, 0)

• (5, 0)

• (0, -6)
