Linear Functions

Description

The video covers linear functions with positive slope and positive y-intercept. It explains the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope indicating steepness, calculated as rise over run, and b is the y-intercept, the y-value at the point where the line intersects the y-axis. For this function, the slope is 2, and the y-intercept is 2. The graph is demonstrated by moving up two units and one to the right, confirming the slope. The y-intercept at point (0, 2) is also identified.
