Graphing Linear Equations and Slope

The video tutorial demonstrates how to graph the equation y = 3x + 3 using two methods: plotting points and the slope-intercept formula. Initially, values for x are substituted to find corresponding y values, which are then plotted to form a line. The slope-intercept method is used to verify the graph, highlighting the y-intercept and slope. The tutorial emphasizes checking work by using both methods.
