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 explores similar triangles to illustrate how slopes are calculated and how they determine the direction and parallelism of lines. Students are guided through drawing lines with specific slopes and matching lines to given slopes. The tutorial concludes with homework instructions and practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

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

• 1/2

• 4/3

• 2/3

• 3/4

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

• They are identical

• They intersect at one point

• They are perpendicular

• They are parallel

How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points on the line?

• Multiply the x and y coordinates

• Add the x-coordinates

• Subtract the y-coordinates

• Divide the change in y by the change in x

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

• 3/2

• 1/2

• 2

• 2/3

How can you determine if two triangles are similar?

• Their corresponding sides are equal

• Their corresponding angles are equal

• They have the same perimeter

• They have the same area

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

• Yes, they are similar

• No, they are not similar

• Only if they have the same area

• Only if they have the same perimeter

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

• 1/5

• 5

• 1

• 5/1

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

• 6, 8, 10

• 3, 4, 5

• 12, 16, 20

• 9, 12, 15

What is the slope of a line that rises 4 units and runs 2 units?

• 1/2

• 2

• 1

• 4

If a line has a slope of 1/3, how many units does it rise for every 3 units it runs?

• 4 units

• 1 unit

• 3 units

• 2 units
