Understanding Linear Equations from Tables and Graphs

The video tutorial covers writing linear equations from tables and graphs. It explains how to determine the constant rate of change and find the Y-intercept. The tutorial includes exercises and examples, such as handling negative rates of change and using graphs to find slopes. It concludes with instructions for homework, emphasizing the importance of understanding proportional relationships.

What is the first step in writing a linear equation from a table of values?

• Check if the relationship is proportional

• Find the slope using rise over run

• Determine the constant rate of change

• Identify the Y-intercept

How do you find the Y-intercept from a table of values?

• Use the highest Y value

• Find the midpoint of the table

• Calculate the average of Y values

• Look for the point where X is zero

• 0

• 1

• Undefined

What should you do if a line equation includes '+0'?

• Include it in the equation
