took my teacher a week to teach this and for you it took less than 10 minutes and i actually understood this!! your a great teacher and thank you for the help!!:)
so i was in class today and my teacher was attempting too teach us this and too be honest it was a complete failure...You came in clutch and earned yourself a sub
I am French and ever since I came here nobody has ever explain math exercises as I learned it in my country I mean not until I watch this video. U’re awesome dude
This helped so much! Because of Covid we're going back to slope and I was always so terrible at it, I really need to pass math class this year to be able to go to a good high school and this video helped so so much! Thank you!
I know I’m late but this helped me a lot, I was crying because I didn’t get it. It took my math teacher three weeks and took you seven minutes and I got it like that. Thank you sooo much 😁
Thank you so much! I take 8th and 9th grade math and slope plays a very important part. this really helped me understand slope after struggling for weeks🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m in my freshman year just now trying to learn the concept on slope due to my math teacher being in his first year of teaching and being an overall horrible teacher. Way to go Mr Fox
@Tin Chak Xu 😭😭we were supposed to learn in 8th grade but my teacher gave us all the answers to everything and never genuinely taught us anything so i didn’t learn how to slope until the end of freshman year
@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🧍🏽♀️
@Tin Chak Xu bro i’m a junior now, it’s literally not that deep lmao i don’t use or need slope formula anymore. i was also 13 and grades don’t matter in middle school, no one genuinely cares about this as much as u do. i promise it’s not that important lmao
Dude you are saving me right now. I'm an honors student for the first time since 2nd grade and they gave me a ton of extra work. It scared me a bit and threw me off. I've been doing worse at school but then my parents showed me this video and I understood this so I've went through your whole page and It's helped me so much with understanding everything i've been struggling with.
Words can't describe how grateful I am, I literally have a unit test on slopes tmrw, and came in last minute to study, your video was such a great help and explanation, and helped me so much, I had no idea what I was going to do. God bless you!
aa i rewatched my professors 30 min explanation of slope several times and i didn’t understand anything but i understood everything right away from your video,, saved me tysm i hope you’re having a great day!
Thank you so much, sir! You honestly saved my scores! My teacher tried to teach us this but we couldn't understand a single thing so i thought i was gone for. I am beyond grateful! You don't sound intimidating at all and actually made me enjoy the lesson... Thank you so much! Love you lots and hope you are healthy and happy!
Truly appreciate your skill in simplifying math concepts and keeping it interesting. When I am looking for a video to introduce or support the teaching of a concept, I always look for yours first. And, the best part is, my students agree! They like like it when they see it's Mr. Buffington. :)
This one TH-cam Video explained what I was trying to learn for months, Huge shout outs to Eric Buffington! It is crazy how primitive schools have become and how advanced Digital Video has come.
I don't think you understand how much you helped me, i suffer from mental issues and this simplified it enough for me to understand my teachers never help me so I have to do my own research
omg thanks so much! You make it fun and easy. Now a days ppl are making math more difficult like they need to think about how hard the other students are doing but thx to u i understand more!
I think this is a good video it has helped me alot understand the math i understand slopes now rise and run, and how to plot the points that is needed to be plotted. the ladies here have really helped me understand what i am doing
I haven’t started learning slope and it’s the summer and I wanted extra knowledge and this really helped, it’s shocking how I understood the entire lesson in 10 minutes, just need to make sure I remember slope
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.
Sir, i mean how could it be so easy... I have been tryin' to understand slope since real 1 week, but in just few minutes i got it all..... Fr the best teacher
I got a little confused cuz the lines weren't straight but it really helped, especially cuz my Math exam's tomorrow. I bow down to your superior thinking
i've been studying calculus alone with with content in english on youtube (english is not my first language), and i was not understanding the concept of slope when talking about derivative, thx for the help
You are definitely not dumb! Math can be confusing. Just keep looking for help and practicing! It will become easier as you keep at it! Good luck! Have a wonderful day!
2:08 if all math was taught like this then it would be so easy for me :( thanks I looked at like 10 videos before this and this is the only one that was perfectly clear to me :D
I am here from my teachers online class and wow! I realised that this video even teach better than my teacher,so i subscribed to this! I dont understand what my teacher teaches,but i can understand what u say! Isnt it hilarious?😂
After going through tons of TH-cam videos, finally this is what I was looking for. So simple and elegant explanation. Understood about Slope way much better than any other video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm going into 8th and practicing for the placement test in highschool! I want to get the Newman scholarship (or at least try) and this was on an online practice test and I haven't learned it yet so I looked up videos on slopes and took notes! Will definitely be coming back to this video and watching more from your channel!!
i’m a high school student in literally my last year i’ve used the formula of slope for equations hundred times but i never understood what slope even is, thank you
thank you so much!!! i've been practising for my SAT test and i was struggling so much with this (english is not my mothertongue and i didn't realize that i knew all of this). it saved me sooo much time and energy!!!
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
Bro thank you for this video. I didn’t understand slope at all and now I have confidence that I can pass my slope quiz tomorrow because of you so thank you man 😀
I'm in middle school but I have been put into this program and I have to take a highschool level exam tomorrow and people told me to try to learn slope so I came here. This helped me understand it in no time so thank you!
I appreciate the breakdown. Imma have to look for the harder slope breakdowns. I could already do this kind easy enough. Keep on posting brother! People need the help more than ever.
Is slope a constant (because you always calculate rise divided by run) or is it a variable constant (because you can get different values for the slope when looking at different functions) but slope is not like pi which is always the same no matter what size the circle?
You are correct. Slope can, and usually is, different for different linear functions. In other words, two lines have two different slopes. But in a single linear equation, slope is a constant.
Thank you so much! I have been absent lately and when i came back i realized i did not understand this. But your video helped me realize how to do this right. Thanks let’s hope i do good on my test tomorrow
Maybe rises the Y axis since it goes up and run is the X axis since it goes across like you’re running across some thing or rising up I don’t know to be honest I just thought of that
Shout out to Mr. MacGregor's Class! Welcome to everyone who is here from his class! :)
Eric Buffington I
:(
What should I do if it is an equation
@nami umi vertical is no slope
Horizontal is 0 slope
You said up two over one

YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE!!! Slope has always been so hard for me and i never fully understood it until now so Thank You!!!!
So glad you reached out and left a comment!
I passed my GED on 12/28/18 i failed 2xs. I started watching u and others on youtube. And it helped me so much. Thanks for freely giving back.
Congrats! That makes me so happy to hear!
Thank you, you’ve helped more in 7 minutes than my teacher has in a week :)
You’re welcome 😊
never in my life understood the actual definition of a slope, only memorized it's formula, but now i do all thanks to you.
Thank you! This really helped me!
Also, can I just point out that "Eric Buffington" is literally the most badass name I've ever heard? No joke.
This is the first time a TH-cam video actually helped me thank you
That's sad and good at the same time! :)

why did they had to call it "rise over run" that statement confused me
I don't know where that came from, but hope the video helped clarify that for you. Keep working at it and it'll become more clear in time. :)
Maybe rises the Y axis since it goes up and run is the X axis since it goes across like you’re running across some thing or rising up I don’t know to be honest I just thought of that
I watched two vedios to understand this concept but you are the one who taught it completely with no doubt left and hence got a like.🙂🙂
