How to graph a linear equation when it is in slope intercept form, y = 2x + 1

The video tutorial explains how to graph an equation using the slope-intercept form. It begins by identifying the slope and Y-intercept, then demonstrates how to plot the Y-intercept on a graph. The tutorial continues by using the slope to find additional points on the line, explaining the concept of rise over run. Finally, it concludes with a brief mention of more complex equations.

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

• Calculate the slope

• Plot the x-intercept

• Identify the slope and y-intercept

• Identify the x-intercept

Where should you plot the y-intercept on a graph?

• On the y-axis

• On the x-axis

• At the origin

• At any random point

What does the slope represent in a graph?

• The change in x over the change in y

• The change in y over the change in x

• The intersection point

• The distance from the origin
