How to Find the Slope of a Line

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the equation...

Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson plan...

Teaching slope is part of the foundation for graphing equations. This video starts at the beginning and introduces the types of slope before calculating with the slope formula. On a graph, your learners will see that every line has a...

Don't make a mountain out of finding slope. Learners find out how to determine the slope of a line graphed on the coordinate plane. Given a point and the slope of a line, pupils graph the line. Using the definition of slope, they then...

Explain how to find the slope of a graph of a line with a video that points out how no matter what two points are used on a graph of a line, the slope is the same. A few examples reiterate how to find the slope of vertical and horizontal...

The teacher demonstrates how to plug in values from two given points to find the slope of a line. She uses the slope formula and goes through the problem step-by-step.

Slope is the steepness of a line, but how do you quantify steepness? A video demonstrates how to find the slope of a line from a graph, either by counting vertical and horizontal change or by using the slope formula. Five problem videos...

What kind of lines have slopes that are the opposite reciprocal of each other? Parallel lines? No. Parabolas? No. Perpendicular lines? Yes! Watch and listen as the instructor demonstrates how to make these determinations about...

The teacher demonstrates how to plug in values from two given points to find the slope of a line. She uses the slope formula and goes through the problem step-by-step.

Learners identify the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson plan, students discover the process of how to find the slope of a line and classify the slope as positive, negative, zero or undefined. They find the slope of a line given two...
