Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

The video tutorial explains how to graph the equation y = 3x - 2 using the slope-intercept form. It begins by defining the slope-intercept form and identifying the y-intercept (B) and slope (M) in the equation. The tutorial then demonstrates how to express the slope as a fraction and use it to plot the line on a graph. The process involves identifying the y-intercept point and using the slope to find additional points by moving up and right on the graph. The video concludes with a brief mention of the next example to be covered.

What is the general form of the slope-intercept equation?

• y = a/x + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

• y = x^2 + bx + c

In the equation y = 3x - 2, what is the value of the y-intercept?

• 3

• 1

• -2

• 0

How can the slope of 3 be expressed as a fraction?

• 3/1

• 1/3

• 0/3

• 3/0

What does the slope of a line represent?

• The x-intercept

• The y-intercept

• The change in y with respect to x

If the slope is 3/1, how do you move from the y-intercept to plot the next point?

• Down 3 units, left 1 unit

• Down 3 units, right 1 unit

• Up 3 units, left 1 unit
