There is an error, which is corrected, around the 7 1/2 minute mark where the slope should be positive 3/4.
Covers the algebraic formula used to find the slope of a line passing through two points. More examples are in the next video, Graphing 12. This is part 11 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 find the slope between two points by graphing them and using rise/run?
  • How do you find the slope between (-3, 2) and (2, -1)?
  • What is the formula for finding slope between two points?
  • Does it matter what order you subtract the coordinates when finding slope?
  • Does it matter which point is which when calculating (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)?
  • How do you find the slope of the line passing through (4, -6) and (8, -3)?
In this video, you will learn how to find the slope of a line if you only have two ordered pairs or points. This time, it is not necessary to use a graph. Finding slope by using the formula for slope between two points is shown and used.
