Finding and Analyzing Linear Equations with Slope and Y-Intercept

The video tutorial explains how to find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of linear models. It covers the formula for slope, m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1), and how to use it with two points from a graph. The tutorial provides examples of linear models with both negative and positive slopes, demonstrating how to calculate the slope and y-intercept. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the direction of the slope and finding points on the line that are easy to use for calculations. The video concludes with creating linear equations in the form y = mx + b.
