Exploring Types of Slope

The video tutorial explains three types of slopes: positive, negative, and zero. A positive slope occurs when both vertical and horizontal changes are in the positive direction, resulting in a positive slope value. A negative slope is when the vertical change is negative while the horizontal change is positive, leading to a negative slope value. A zero slope happens when there is no vertical change, resulting in a slope value of zero. Each type of slope is explained with examples to illustrate the concept.

Which of the following is NOT a type of slope discussed in the video?

• Positive slope

• Negative slope

• Zero slope

• Undefined slope
