The tutorial concludes with a summary of key concepts, emphasizing the role of the Y-intercept and slope in graphing equations.

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• y = ax + b

• y = mx + b

• y = bx + m

• y = cx + d

When graphing an equation, what is the first step?

• Plot the y-intercept

• Choose values for y

• Choose values for x

• Calculate the slope

What do the first and third graphs have in common?

• They have the same slope

• They cross the y-axis at the same point

• They have the same x-intercept

• They are parallel

What does the number by itself in the equation y = mx + b represent?

• The y-intercept

• The origin

• The x-intercept

• The slope

What is the term used to describe the steepness of a graph?

• Gradient

• Angle

• Intercept

• Slope

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?
