Write the equation of a line given two points using slope intercept

The video tutorial guides students through writing the equation of a line given two points. It covers calculating the slope using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and finding the y-intercept using the slope-intercept form. The instructor addresses common mistakes and clarifies the process, ensuring students understand how to derive the equation y = mx + b. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding both the slope and y-intercept to form the correct equation.
