Graphing Lines in Slope-Intercept Form

This video tutorial teaches how to graph a line in slope-intercept form using its slope and y-intercept. It begins with a practical problem of filling a pool with water, explaining the concept of slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The tutorial covers calculating the slope using coordinates, graphing a line on a coordinate grid, and addressing common misunderstandings such as incorrect scaling and misplacing the y-intercept. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points covered.
