Exploring Slope, Parallel, and Perpendicular Lines

This video tutorial covers the concept of slope, including how to find it from graphs and points. It explains the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines, emphasizing that parallel lines have equal slopes while perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

What does the term 'rise over run' refer to in the context of finding a slope?

• The angle of the line with respect to the horizontal

• The change in X over the change in Y

• The change in Y over the change in X

• The total distance a line covers

How do you find the slope if you are given two points?

• Subtract the Y values and divide by the difference of the X values

• Multiply the Y values and divide by the product of the X values

• Add the Y values and divide by the sum of the X values

• None of the above
