Get Your Remote and Have Your Notes Out!!: The Slope of A Line

The document discusses the slope of a line, which is defined as the steepness or rate of change of a line. It explains how to calculate the slope formula by taking the rise over the run between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on the line. Several examples of positive, negative, zero and undefined slopes are provided based on whether the line rises or falls from left to right or is horizontal or vertical. Students are instructed to plot points and draw lines to find the slopes of example lines.
