Understanding Coordinate Plane Concepts

This video tutorial covers the concept of slope and the slope-intercept form in the context of an x-y coordinate plane. It explains how to determine the slope of a line as the ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run and discusses the implications of positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes. The tutorial introduces the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It demonstrates how to graph a line using this form and provides practice questions to reinforce understanding, including a real-world application involving a cost model for renting a van.
