Graphing a Line Using Slope-Intercept Form

The video tutorial explains how to graph a line using the slope-intercept form, Y = MX + B. It introduces the concepts of slope (M) and y-intercept (B) and demonstrates how to graph a line using the example equation Y = 1/2X + 2. The tutorial covers plotting the y-intercept and using the slope to determine the line's direction, emphasizing the rise over run method. The video concludes with a promise of more examples in the next video.

What does the 'B' represent in the slope-intercept form of a line equation?

• The y-intercept of the line

• The midpoint of the line

• The slope of the line

• The x-intercept of the line

In the equation Y = 1/2X + 2, what is the value of the slope?

• 2

• 1/2

• 0

• 1

How is the slope of a line expressed in terms of change?

• Difference between X and Y

• Change in X over change in Y

• Change in Y over change in X

• Sum of X and Y

What is the first step in graphing the line Y = 1/2X + 2?

• Plot the x-intercept

• Plot the y-intercept

• Calculate the slope

• Draw a horizontal line

If the slope is 1/2, how do you move from the y-intercept to plot the next point?

• Up 2 units, right 1 unit

• Up 1 unit, right 2 units

• Down 1 unit, left 2 units

• Down 2 units, left 1 unit

What does repeating the process of 'up one, right two' help you achieve?

• Graphing the entire line

• Drawing a parallel line

• Calculating the slope

• Finding the x-intercept
