This video tutorial covers the concept of slope in mathematics, focusing on its definition as the quotient of the vertical and horizontal sides of a triangle. The lesson uses similar triangles to explain how slopes are calculated and how they determine the direction and parallelism of lines. Students are guided through exercises to draw lines with specific slopes and match lines to given slopes. The tutorial concludes with homework instructions to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is the slope of a line if the vertical side is 3 and the horizontal side is 4?

• 1/2

• 2/3

• 4/3

• 3/4

If two lines have the same slope, what can be said about their relationship?

• They are perpendicular

• They are parallel

• They intersect at one point

• They are identical

How do you determine the slope of a line from a graph?

• By dividing the vertical change by the horizontal change

• By counting the number of squares

• By measuring the angle

• By adding the vertical and horizontal changes

What is the slope of a line that goes up 3 units and over 2 units?

• 2/3

• 3/2

• 1/2

• 2

How can you prove that two triangles are similar?

• By showing they are congruent

• By using a scale factor to show proportional sides

• By showing they have the same perimeter

• By showing they have the same area

If triangle A has sides 3, 4, 5 and triangle B has sides 6, 8, 10, are they similar?

• No, because they are not congruent

• Yes, because they have the same angles

• No, because they have different perimeters

• Yes, because their sides are proportional

What is the scale factor if a triangle with side 4 is dilated to a side of 6?

• 0.5

• 2

• 1.5

• 1.25

In the homework, what is the slope of a line that goes up 4 units and over 2 units?

• 1

• 3

• 2

• 1/2

What is the slope of a line that goes up 1 unit and over 5 units?

• 1/5

• 5/1

• 1

• 5

If a triangle has sides 3, 4, 5, what would be the sides of a similar triangle with a scale factor of 2?

• 6, 7, 8

• 9, 12, 15

• 3, 4, 5

• 6, 8, 10
