Learn how to determine slope & y intercept from an equation in slope intercept form

The video tutorial explains how to determine the slope and Y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form. It describes the slope as the coefficient of X and the Y-intercept as the constant term. The tutorial also covers how to identify these components in an equation and interpret them graphically, emphasizing the importance of understanding the coordinate point where the graph crosses the Y-axis.

What does the slope represent in a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

• The coefficient of X

• The constant term

• The Y-intercept

• The variable X

In the equation Y = -1/2X - 2, what is the slope?

• -1/2

• 1/2

• -2

• 2

In the equation Y = -1/2X - 2, what is the Y-intercept?

• 0

• 1/2

• -2

• -1/2

What does the Y-intercept represent on a graph?

• The point where the graph crosses the X-axis

• The slope of the line

• The point where the graph crosses the Y-axis

• The change in X over the change in Y

How is the slope defined in terms of coordinates?

• The sum of X and Y coordinates

• The change in Y over the change in X

• The difference between X and Y coordinates

• The change in X over the change in Y
