In this video lesson we will learn about the slope of a line as a ratio, m, rise over run. We will learn that rise is the change in y or vertical change between any two points on a line. We will learn that run is the change in x or horizontal change between any two points on a line. We will learn how to find the slope of a line graphed in a coordinate plane. We will find the slope by using two given points to graph a line and find the slope. We will use a table of values to graph a line and find the slope. We will compare the equivalent ratios by finding slope between different points. Student practice is embedded in the lesson and exemplar solutions are modeled.

Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.

8.EE.B.6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
