Interpret The Rate of Change /Slope in the Context of Everyday Life

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Find slope all around us and calculate the rate of change during this video that uses real-life situations. Your learners will start by creating a table to see how each change creates the pieces of slope. Plug that slope into your equation with the y-intercept and see if your mathematicians can translate it onto a graph. Very straightforward video that goes over the basics on how to find slope with two examples from start to finish.
