Writing Equations for Proportional Relationships: Distance and Time

This video tutorial explains how to write and graph linear functions using real-life scenarios, such as taxi cab fares. It covers the concept of linear relationships, the slope-intercept form, and common misunderstandings. The tutorial also demonstrates how to model scenarios with equations, identify independent and dependent variables, and use tables and graphs to analyze costs. By the end, viewers will understand how to apply these concepts to various situations.
