Part of video series Graphing Lines
Taught by YourMathGal
More free YouTube videos by Julie Harland are organized at http://yourmathgal.com
This is a continuation of the ideas presented in part 9, and continues to cover the basic idea of slope, what it means, and how you can determine the slope by looking at a graph. More examples are included. This is part 10 of a series of videos about graphing lines.
  • Slope Homework - Homework practice on slope.
  • Slope Slider - A slope slider website that shows the graph of an equation given a slope and a y-intercept.
  • How do you compute the exact slope of a line that is graphed by using rise/run?
  • How do you know if the slope of a line will be positive or negative?
  • Does it matter which two points you use and which one you start at when finding slope?
  • How do you find the slope of a horizontal line from a graph using rise/run?
  • How do you find the slope of a vertical line from a graph using rise/run?
This video shows more examples of finding the slope of a line by picking two points from the line and using the formula rise/run. All steps for finding the slope are explained. This is great practice for finding slope.
