Understanding Slope and Intercepts

The video tutorial from YourTeacher.com explains how to write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. It begins with an introduction to the platform's offerings, followed by a detailed explanation of the slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the slope and y-intercept of a given line using the rise over run method and identifying where the line crosses the y-axis. Finally, it shows how to substitute these values into the formula to derive the equation of the line.
