Exploring Slope Calculations from Tabular Data

Coach Garcia explains how to calculate the slope from a table by finding the change in y over the change in x. The video includes three examples, demonstrating the process of calculating slope using different sets of data. The importance of consistency in changes is highlighted, and viewers are encouraged to pause and review the material as needed.

What is the basic formula for calculating slope?

• Product of x and y

• Change in x over change in y

• Change in y over change in x

• Sum of x and y
