The video tutorial introduces the concept of slopes, focusing on positive, negative, horizontal, and vertical slopes. It explains how to calculate slopes using the rise over run method and discusses special cases like horizontal lines with zero slope and vertical lines with undefined slope. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the slopes and their corresponding equations on the Cartesian coordinate plane.

Why is the slope of a vertical line considered undefined?

• Because the run is zero

• Because it has a positive slope

• Because the rise is zero

• Because it has a negative slope
