Exploring Negative Slopes in Graphing Lines

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line on a graph. It defines slope as the ratio of the change in y to the change in x, also known as rise over run. The tutorial provides examples of calculating slope using different points on the line, demonstrating that the slope remains consistent regardless of the points chosen. The video emphasizes understanding the concept of slope through practical examples and verification.

What is another way to define the slope of a line?

• Sum of x and y

• Product of x and y

• Change in y over change in x

• Difference between x and y
