Determining Slope from a Table

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the slope of a line using both vertical and horizontal tables. It covers the importance of correctly identifying changes in x-values and y-values, and emphasizes the need to place the change in y-values over the change in x-values to find the slope. The tutorial includes examples with both positive and negative changes, demonstrating how to simplify fractions to find the slope.

In a vertical table, where are the X values typically located?
