Finding Slope from a Graph

This video tutorial covers the concept of finding slope from a graph, building on prior knowledge from unit 4. It explains the four types of slope: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to find the slope using two points on a graph, emphasizing the importance of writing the slope as a fraction in simplest form. The video includes examples and practice problems to reinforce the learning objectives, ensuring students can identify and calculate different types of slopes accurately.
