Graph a linear equation by converting standard form to slope intercept form

The video tutorial demonstrates how to graph an equation using the slope-intercept form. It begins by explaining the choice of using slope-intercept form over intercept form due to the divisibility of coefficients. The tutorial then guides through solving for Y to isolate the variable, identifying the slope and Y-intercept, and finally plotting the graph by marking the Y-intercept and using the slope to determine other points. The process concludes with connecting the points to complete the graph.

Why is the slope-intercept form preferred over the intercept form in this scenario?

• Because it is easier to calculate the slope

• Because both 3 and 5 do not divide into 10 evenly

• Because it provides a more accurate graph

• Because it is the only method taught in class

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

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 3X from both sides

• Add 3X to both sides

• Divide both sides by 10

What is the slope of the equation after conversion?

• 3/5

• -5/3

• 5/3

• -3/5

How is the Y-intercept represented on a graph?

• As a line parallel to the X-axis

• As a line parallel to the Y-axis

• As a point where Y is 0

• As a point where X is 0

What does the slope represent in the context of a graph?

• The ratio of the change in Y to the change in X

• The midpoint of the line

• The distance between two points

• The angle of the line with the X-axis
