Understanding Slope and Intercepts

The video tutorial explains how to graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. It covers identifying the slope and Y-intercept, and how to use these to plot the graph. The tutorial also discusses alternative forms of equations and how to simplify them for easier graphing.

What is the y-intercept in the equation Y = 14x + 2?

• 1/4

• 0

• 2

• 14

In the equation Y = 14x + 2, what does the number 14 represent?

• The slope

• The y-intercept

• The constant term

• The x-intercept

How is the slope of a line determined?

• By the ratio of rise over run

• By the x-intercept

• By the y-intercept

• By the sum of rise and run

What does the 'rise' in the slope of a line refer to?

• The y-intercept

• Change in x

• The x-intercept

• Change in y

When graphing the equation Y = 14x + 2, where do you start?

• At the x-intercept

• At the y-intercept

• At the origin

• At any random point

What should you do if an equation is not in slope-intercept form?

• Graph it as is

• Use only the y-intercept

• Ignore the equation

• Convert it to y = mx + b form
