Write an equation given the slope and point intercept

The video tutorial explains how to write a linear equation using the slope and Y-intercept. It covers the standard form of a linear equation, Y = MX + B, where M is the slope and B is the Y-intercept. The tutorial details how to identify these components in an equation and use them to graph a line. It emphasizes the relationship between the slope and the coefficient of X, and the Y-intercept as the constant term. The video also demonstrates graphing techniques using slope triangles and provides a practical example with specific values for slope and Y-intercept.

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• B = YX + M

• X = MY + B

• Y = B + MX

• Y = MX + B

In a linear equation, what does the slope represent?

• The number added to Y

• The change in Y over the change in X

• The constant term

• The point where the graph crosses the X-axis

Where does the Y-intercept appear in a linear equation?

• As the constant term

• As the divisor of Y

• As the coefficient of X

• As the exponent of X

If a line has a slope of -6 and a Y-intercept of -2, what is the equation of the line?

• Y = -6X - 2

• Y = -2X - 6

• Y = 2X + 6

• Y = 6X + 2

How do you graph a line with a slope of -6 and a Y-intercept of -2?

• Start at (0, 2) and move down 6 units and left 1 unit

• Start at (0, 2) and move up 6 units and left 1 unit

• Start at (0, -2) and move down 6 units and right 1 unit

• Start at (0, -2) and move up 6 units and right 1 unit
