Learn how to identify the slope and y intercept from a linear equation in slope intercept

The video tutorial explains how to rewrite equations in slope-intercept form, identify the slope, and understand the Y-intercept. It emphasizes writing the slope as a fraction for graphing purposes and describes the Y-intercept as a coordinate point where the X value is zero.

What is the general form of an equation in slope-intercept form?

• x = my + b

• ax + by = c

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx + b

Why is it important to express the slope as a fraction?

• To simplify the equation

• To represent the slope as a ratio of changes in y and x values

• To make it easier to multiply

• To convert it into a decimal

If the slope is given as an integer, how should it be written for graphing purposes?

• As a fraction over one

• As a percentage

• As a whole number

• As a decimal

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

• The value of b

• The value of x

• The value of m

• The value of y

How should the y-intercept be represented?

• As a coordinate point with x = 0

• As a decimal

• As a single number

• As a fraction
