Finding Slope and Y-Intercept with TI Calculators

The video tutorial covers how to calculate the slope of a line using various methods, including rise over run, graph interpretation, and using a calculator. It explains how to convert decimals to fractions and interpret graphs to find equations. The tutorial also discusses the concept of rate of change and how to use tables to find the slope of a line.
