Finding the slope using two points given on a graph

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the slope using slope triangles. It covers the concept of slope as the change in Y over the change in X, and demonstrates how to determine the slope regardless of the direction of movement. The tutorial includes examples of calculating slope using both positive and negative directions, emphasizing that the slope remains consistent. The video also provides practical examples of slope triangles to reinforce the concept.

What is the formula for calculating the slope of a line?

• Sum of X and Y coordinates

• Change in X over change in Y

• Change in Y over change in X

• Difference between X and Y coordinates

If you move from point (1, 1) to point (5, 5), what is the slope?

• 4

• 0

• 2

• 1

How does the slope change when moving from right to left compared to left to right?

• It remains the same

• It becomes zero

• It becomes negative

• It doubles

What happens to the slope when both the change in X and Y are negative?

• The slope becomes zero

• The slope becomes negative

• The slope remains positive

• The slope becomes undefined

Which of the following configurations will result in a positive slope?

• Negative change in both Y and X

• Negative change in Y and positive change in X

• Positive change in Y and negative change in X

• Positive change in both Y and X
