Graph a linear equation in slope intercept form

The video tutorial explains how to graph a linear equation using the slope-intercept form, which is expressed as Y = MX + B. It covers identifying the slope (M) and y-intercept (B), plotting the y-intercept on a coordinate axis, and using the slope to find additional points. The tutorial also addresses common confusions about negative slopes and demonstrates how to complete the graph to form a straight line.

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

• The origin

• The X-intercept

• The slope

• The Y-intercept

In the equation Y = MX + B, what is the Y-intercept if B is 3?

• (0, -3)

• (3, 0)

• (0, 3)

• (3, 3)

If the slope of a line is -2/5, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

• The line falls 2 units for every 5 units it runs

• The line rises 2 units for every 5 units it runs

• The line falls 5 units for every 2 units it runs

• The line rises 5 units for every 2 units it runs

How do you plot the first point on a graph using the slope-intercept form?

• Plot the X-intercept as a point

• Plot the Y-intercept as a point

• Plot the slope as a point

• Plot the origin as a point

When graphing a line with a slope of -2/5, what is the next step after plotting the Y-intercept?

• Move down 5 units and right 2 units

• Move up 5 units and right 2 units

• Move down 2 units and right 5 units

• Move up 2 units and right 5 units
