Finding Slope from a Graph

This video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line on a graph. It covers the concept of slope as rise over run, differentiates between positive and negative slopes, and demonstrates how to calculate slope between two points. The tutorial includes examples of both positive and negative slopes, emphasizes the importance of simplifying slope fractions, and guides viewers on identifying points on a graph to aid in slope calculation.
