Introduction to the Slope of a Line

[BigCamCam1]

I am just about to do my first maths GCSE and before last week i had never even heard of this, then out teacher started telling us about it and i didnt get it one bit. I watched this video and all of a sudden i can do these easily, thanks!!

[garvam]

and yess...u even put sound effect ....dam why i did not get a teacher like u , so i would not have drop out,,,dam i hate you !!!

[garvam]

u r a genius teacher...i am amazed to see at how u make a visual graphic and teach ! thats awesome , thank you sir ! we need teacher like you.

@BleuWaterStones: Actually, not only is -2 an integer, it is a rational number with a denominator of 1. So therefore I would write - 2 as -2/1 and do the question just as I would any other fractional slope. I'm not really sure what your comment is driving at. Do you think I was avoiding integers? By the way, whole numbers are considered to be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ..... in other words, not negative!

[BleuWaterStones]

@minkusbc I stand corrected!

[theLipslike2talk]

i like slope man , thanks

[cyberpunk3001]

Thanks man, you're a life saver! I wish when I was going to Highschool that I had a Math teacher that knew how to teach Math!

[ganksterofboston]

Thanks Old man got my math exam tommorow breh keep the brains and dont smoke weed

[indianeyesonyou]

I love this video...awesome, my college professor should use your simple methods of teaching...simplify, simplify, simplify, because math is difficult enough for most to comprehend....you deserve to know your appreciated online here...oh what a relief it is to see this simpler methods used.

[ericherries]

awesome explainations!

[animeskater55]

omg i wish my teacher was anythijng like this! yaa i wont fail my next test.

Thanks!

my teacher is shit compared to this guy

question: "Can we allow the formula of slope in this way: m = x2-x1/y2-y1? Why?

[minkusbc]

If you are using the slope formula (i have a video of this as well), make sure when you put it into your calculator that you use brackets, such as: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). Make sure the y-values are on top (numerator) and the x - values in the bottom (denominator)

[vietfolife]

no, because lets say Δy=1 and Δx=2 using the formula for slope m=Δy/Δx. the slope of of this line would be 1/2. but if we use m=Δx/Δy,

the slope would be 2 which would be much steeper. oh if you didn't know, Δ means change, so Δy would mean how y changed from the first point to the second, same with Δx, but how x changed

[scarletgrief]

@numberlife any form would do actually because they teach u that the rules they thought u will not be needed anymore try it works either way

Wow! You are a terrific teacher!!! I am a brand new high school Algebra teacher here in MD and am taking basic Algebra in college to enable me to teach it. Your videos have been immensely helful! I also thought of a man running toward and mountain in order to climb a steep slope. The students enjoyed that imagery as well. I understand the concepts best from you than the book or tutors from college!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[Oluedo]

Let me understand this, you are a high school Algebra teacher and yet are still taking basic Algebra in College. As a math High school teacher in California, I really hope this is not the case.

[gonzo42089]

so what. shut up. my mom is a private banker who does million dollar account stuff n has to take it .

[rapmancool]

Thanks alot i'm sitting my pharmacy chemistry exam resit , hope i pass thankyou ;)

[prodigylover]

dude kicks ass!!

[Theophilos77]

I am a college student in a basic intro to algebra class for the 4TH TIME!! I've learne more from you in 6:00 min than I have in 6 hrs from my teacher.  I just wish I could've found this earlier.

Thanks sooo much!!

[PinkChocolate16]

Thank you so so so much!! :D

[giovannalucia]

:D thank you very much !!!

thi will really help me !!!

muchas gracias (:

[rjs1962]

Nice job! I, too, like the slope man. I will try to use this with a student I am tutoring.

[snooper86]

really good stuff. que bueno

[geomong]

Thanks for the SLOPE MAN!!! What a nice idea to remember the concept!

[ellirene]

so good!

thanks a ton!

[iortizvictory]

This is an excellent video!!!! I was having a hard time following the book I was reading about slopes. Your explaination so it is so easy to understand!! I'm going to frame a picture of slope man on my wall!! Great job!!!!
