Finding Slope from a Graph: Key Concepts and Techniques

This video tutorial covers the concept of slope, including its definition and the four types: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. It explains how to find the slope from a graph using the rise over run method and emphasizes writing the slope as a fraction. The tutorial provides examples of slope calculations and includes practice problems to reinforce learning.

What does the slope of a line represent in a graph?

• The color of the line
