Finding Slope from Two Points

The video tutorial reviews how to find the slope from two points. It begins with a reminder of slope concepts, including positive, negative, undefined, and zero slopes. The tutorial then explains the slope formula, y2 - y1 over x2 - x1, and demonstrates its application through three examples. The first example involves calculating the slope between two points, resulting in a positive slope. The second example shows a horizontal line with a slope of zero, and the third example illustrates a vertical line with an undefined slope.
