Graphing a line in slope intercept form by identifying slope & y intercept

The video tutorial explains how to graph an equation using the slope-intercept form. It begins by ensuring the equation is in the correct form, identifying the slope and y-intercept, and understanding basic fractions. The tutorial then demonstrates plotting the y-intercept on the graph and using the slope to find additional points, ultimately drawing the line. The process is summarized to reinforce understanding.

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

• Find the y-intercept

• Identify the x-intercept

• Ensure the equation is in slope-intercept form

• Calculate the slope

How can you identify the slope in an equation written in slope-intercept form?

• It is the constant term

• It is the coefficient of y

• It is the coefficient of x

• It is the y-intercept

What is the slope of the equation y = 1/2 * x - 3?

• 1/2

• -3
