Exploring Patterns and Writing Explicit Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to define explicit expressions by exploring patterns. It covers the slope-intercept form of linear equations, identifying the slope and y-intercept from a table of values, and writing explicit expressions using the rate of change and initial value. The tutorial also addresses common misunderstandings and provides examples to practice using explicit expressions to calculate areas of figures.
