Understanding Slope and Speed

The video continues the lesson on slope, focusing on proportional relationships and their characteristics. Using Mikey's bike ride as an example, the video explains how to determine speed and graph proportional relationships. It introduces the concept of slope, showing how it relates to the constant of proportionality. Another example using water usage illustrates finding slope from a graph. The video concludes with a summary and instructions for an exit slip.
