My math teacher taught me a lesson today that I really did not understand. He didn't even give us the name of the lesson and I'm trying to figure it out. It has to do with a graphing equation and factoring the first number of it. For example: y=5/4x +2
I would need to factor 5/4.
Can someone please tell me the name of the lesson or a link to a video on youtube or khan academy or something?
