Finding Slope on a Coordinate Plane Using Right Triangles

This video tutorial teaches how to find the slope of a line on a coordinate plane by constructing right triangles. It explains that the slope is the ratio of rise to run and remains constant for any straight line. The tutorial demonstrates how to construct right triangles on a grid and calculate the slope using different triangle sizes, emphasizing that the ratio remains the same due to triangle similarity. Additionally, it covers calculating slope using given coordinates by determining the differences in x and y values.
