Finding Slopes and Equations of Lines

This video tutorial covers the concepts of slopes and equations of lines in geometry. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by methods to determine the slope of a line using rise over run and the slope formula. The tutorial then explains how to write equations in slope-intercept form and find equations of lines given a slope and a point. Finally, it demonstrates how to graph lines using these equations. The lesson concludes with a practice assignment for students.
