Lines in the Form y = mx + b Slope Intercept Form

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It makes sense that it's called the slope-intercept form. After reviewing how the slope and y-intercept affects the graph of a linear equation, individuals learn how to graph a linear equation given in slope-intercept form. They watch as the narrator of the video works through two examples to help with understanding.
