This video tutorial explains how to graph linear equations using the slope-intercept form, Y = MX + B. It covers the importance of understanding the slope (M) and Y-intercept (B), how to identify the Y-intercept on a graph, and how to calculate the slope using two points. The tutorial also demonstrates how to use the slope to find additional points on the graph and provides a step-by-step guide to graphing using the slope-intercept form.
