Understanding Slope Concepts

The video tutorial explains the concept of slope, defined as rise over run or change in y over change in x. It covers the four main types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined, using examples to illustrate each. Positive slopes rise to the right, negative slopes fall to the left, zero slopes are horizontal, and undefined slopes are vertical. The video also provides a visual guide to understanding slopes and encourages viewers to explore further resources for a deeper understanding.

What is the slope of a line defined as?

• The midpoint of a line

• The angle of a line

• The distance between two points
