  • In this video I show how to calculate slope using the slope formula, and why it works. This lesson is geared to visual learners as I use a graph at the start to show how the formula works, then color coding throughout the lesson.

    I am definitely late to the party, but can I just say, thank you so much. As a child who hated math, and as a girl who was always told, 'You can't do math', I grew up hating anything with numbers. As an adult, I'm relearning everything in my free time. I often get anxious with 'higher' order math, and these videos have been SUCH a sigh of relief and have (almost) made me cry with math: Only this time, for a good reason, because I feel like the childhood girl inside me is finally not afraid of numbers! Thank you so much! :)

    This literally saved me from having a literal break down in the middle of class cause it’s our 3rd day working on slope and I still didn’t get it and I was to scared to ask my teacher. also I’m in a 7th grade ap class so I’m used to getting math quickly (but I’m also dyslexic)

    • @EricBuffington

      A negative divided by a negative make a positive. So the answer in your example would be 15/11

    How would I find the steepest slope between equations and graphs?
    Or How would I know which is is the steepest slope when I’m doing it between the equations or graphs?

    • @EricBuffington
      @EricBuffington  3 года назад

      The higher the number the slope, the steeper the line. Here's a video on finding slope from an equation.

    I still don’t understand how do you know which points to put in the
    y2 - y1
    X2 - X1 ???????

    • @EricBuffington
      @EricBuffington  5 лет назад +4

      It will work either way as long as you pick one point to be (x1, y1) and the other point to be (x2, y2). Slope is consistent so as long as you pick any two points on a line, it will work out. If you do make point 1 (x1,y1) to the right of point 2 (x2, y2) you might end up with a bunch of negative numbers, but if you resolve them correctly, you'll always get the correct answer no matter what points you choose on a line.

    Hi Eric, It's the Art teacher standing in for an 8th class that had no proper Math teacher since the beginning of the school year. I feel like they need a review from the beginning of slope. If you have time can you tell me in what order should I arrange your videos for a complete review?

    • @EricBuffington
      @EricBuffington  2 года назад +2

      I would start with 'Understanding Slope' ruclips.net/video/ADLoWIxKsyQ/видео.html
      Then Slope from Two Points (this lesson)
      Then Slope from an Equation ruclips.net/video/2iujdS-0nYw/видео.html
      This is a good follow up: Graphing a line when given slope and y-intercept

      Because some people get confused by having the letters in the equation. If it makes sense for you, definitely use it.
