Finding Slope from a Graph

This video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line from a graph using the rise over run method. It covers both positive and negative slopes, emphasizing the importance of starting from the leftmost point to determine the slope's sign. The video also discusses how the direction of the line itself can indicate whether the slope is positive or negative. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of the next video, which will cover finding slope given two points.

What is the term used to describe the slope in the context of graphs?

• Distance over slope

• Rise over run

• Slope over distance

• Run over rise
