Slope and Rise Over Run

The video tutorial explains the concept of slope, comparing it to ski slopes to illustrate steepness. It covers how to calculate slope as a ratio of rise over run, using graphs, points, and tables of values. The tutorial demonstrates finding slope from a graph, using two points, and from a table of values, emphasizing the importance of equivalent ratios and similar triangles. The video encourages students to practice these methods and understand the constant proportionality in proportional relationships.
