Understanding Slope and Intercepts

The video tutorial explains how to write an equation in slope-intercept form. It begins by finding the slope using the formula (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1) with given points. After calculating the slope, the tutorial demonstrates how to find the y-intercept by substituting values into the equation. The final steps involve writing the complete equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is the first step in writing an equation in slope-intercept form?

• Find the y-intercept
