Finding the Slope: Rise Over Run Explained

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line from its graph. It covers the four types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the slope using the rise over run method, with examples for each type of slope. It emphasizes the importance of identifying two points on the graph and drawing a right triangle to determine the slope. The video concludes with a reminder of the characteristics of horizontal and vertical lines in terms of slope.
