    • @sami10hudson
      @sami10hudson 3 года назад

      @Tin Chak Xu basically, he didn’t show us how to do it, and instead gave us all the answers because he got paid based on how his students were testing that year. If he had atleast gave us the formula, or explained the formula it probably would’ve been easier to figure out🧍🏽‍♀️

    Thanks Mr. Buffington. I never understood slope of the line until I clicked on this video. I have an up and coming GED exam on February 28th. I will just practice and do my best.

    Ariel is 100% correct. It took two weeks to teach this and you explained it perfectly

    Thank you so much for the clear explanation. Trying to help my Grade 9 son with homework when I don't understand it, is NOT fun, for either of us. I feel much more confident now and I am going to share your videos with him. THANK YOU1

    I love how it takes you 7 minutes to explain and it takes my algebra teacher 2 days :)
