Given an equation not in slope intercept form, learn how to find slope & y intercept ex 1

The video tutorial explains how to identify the slope and Y-intercept of a linear equation. It begins by rewriting the equation in slope-intercept form, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the slope as a ratio and the Y-intercept as a coordinate point. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to rearranging the equation and identifying these components, ensuring a clear understanding of their roles in graphing linear equations.

What is the first step in rewriting an equation to identify the slope and Y-intercept?

• Identify the Y-intercept first

• Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form

• Calculate the slope directly

• Graph the equation

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

• The slope

• The variable

• The Y-intercept

• The constant

How is the slope defined in terms of changes in variables?

• Change in Y over change in X

• Difference between X and Y

• Change in X over change in Y

• Sum of X and Y changes

What is the Y-intercept in the equation y = 4/3x - 7?

• 4/3

• -7

• 7

• 0

Where does the Y-intercept occur on a graph?

• Where the graph crosses the X-axis

• At the origin

• At the highest point of the graph

• Where the graph crosses the Y-axis
