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...

Rise and run to find slope. Given a graph of a line, the presentation shows how to find the slope by determining the rise and the run. The resource, part of an extensive geometry playlist, reveals the four basic slopes of lines.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

Given a line on a graph, what's the slope of this line? First, identify two points on the given line. Then, use a formula to find the change in y and then the change in x. This will be represented by rise over run. Watch this video to...
