Finding the Slope from Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line from a graph using the formula 'slope equals rise over run'. It begins with an introduction to the concept of slope, followed by detailed steps on how to identify points on a graph to calculate the slope. The tutorial includes examples of both positive and negative slopes, demonstrating how to count the rise and run between points. The video concludes with an invitation for questions and additional resources, such as a worksheet, to reinforce learning.

What is the basic formula for calculating slope?

• Slope equals run over rise

• Slope equals rise over run

• Slope equals Y over X

• Slope equals X over Y
