Finding Slope and Y-Intercept

This video tutorial teaches how to graph linear equations in standard form. It covers two methods: using x and y intercepts, and converting to slope-intercept form. The video provides step-by-step examples for each method, helping students understand the process of graphing linear equations. It concludes with a summary and offers additional practice resources.

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

• y = ax + c

• x = ay + b

• y = mx + b

• ax + by = c

Which method is typically easier for graphing equations in standard form?
