great lesson.. I have an eighth grader struggling in math.. I pray watching your videos will bring her up to speed..the kids laugh at her when she gets something wrong and she gets turned off from school really.. I try to tell her everyone makes mistakes sometime.. I tell her I'm happy when you at least try..thanks again for your video
Idk ive been homeschooled, using khan academy since the 2nd grade, virtually no other resources besides that and youtube. Idk kinda mid. Unless youre doing virtual learning all by yourself, just with sucky teachers, or like youre an extreme introvert, wouldn’t recommend it lol
I missed a few days of school due to sickness and came back to algebra class and it felt as if they were speaking a different language. This is so helpful thank you!
Thank you sooo much!!!! I didn't understand this in math class and now everything my teacher said finally makes sense!!! You are a true life saver. You just literally turned my c into an A! :-)
Yay i understand it now! Our class finally is learning it and i know how to do it! Thx in the GEM program we are doing this in the 7th grade book i am in 6th grade
Thank you so much khan academy you helped me so much so far my math teacher shows us many things like we already know it and doesn't explain his work you have saved my grade thanks
Just like velocity and acceleration. As acceleration or deceleration is constant change in velocity,(i assume it to be constant, when it might not be constant in all cases) Similarly slope is constant increase or decrease in height or depth when you're moving in the vertical direction or mapping something that has height of depth related to the point where you're standing. Well even i don't really know what slope is 😂 But as far as I understand for example if I'm standing outside a 3 story building at a distance 50 m and the height of the building is 20m, now i have been given a job of connecting a cable from top of the roof to the ground point where I'm standing. Now calculate the length of the cable or rope which will be connected from roof to that ground point you're standing at and calculate the slope? A²+b²= c² , 2500+400 = 2900 c=√2900 = 53.85 something metres long cable. The slope is how much metre it is elevated per 1 metre (unit metre) of the horizontal distance. So slope= total height(or depth) of the vertical object divided by the total distance(on the horizontal plane) you're standing from that object = 20m /50m = 0.8 m Slope is always more than 0 if you're not standing on the object or are parallel to the top point of the object or you are inside that object, in these cases the slope will be zero 0, Like if you're standing on the roof of that building the slope at that point is zero, or if you're standing inside the building the slope again is zero. Slope is nothing but a ratio of vertical distance vs horizontal distance between any two points in a (x,y) plane where x is horizontal axis and y is vertical axis.slope is steepness This is all i understood about slope , i don't know if it's right or wrong, 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Hey, im confused. Slope is delta y over delta x, but to find delta y and x, what order do i subtract it? Like if the points are (-1,2) (-4, -5), what order do i subtract in? Would I do -5 - 2 or 2 - -5. The slope would be different based on which order i do. Please explain the order I should do it in.
You did a decent job explaining the concepts in simple terms, change in y over change in x (rise over run). But it would have made the lesson whole if you would have presented the equation in slope- intercept form for each line, plugged the numbers in from the each of the lines and solved the equation in slope- intercept for both lines (showing the difference of the two slopes). That way we can see how the numbers on the line are represented in the equation and the slope of each line. Thank you for uploading and showing the basics
I know this is an old video to comment but I really want somebody to explain to me and answer as to how steepness as Sal puts in the video be defined as "how quickly a line increases or decreases"?? I do understand that slope is the magnitude of how much a line inclines or declines from the horizontal axis or the ratio of change in vertical axis witg respect to change in horizontal axis but the definition mentioned above as by Sal here confuses me. I fail to conceptualise and understand it..can't make sense mathematically. I'd really appreciate and be thankul if someone could /would offer some clarity and explain in mathematical context!:)
@@amisha25211 simply it's this: if the line runs further horizontal, then it will have a less steep slope. A line with a steeper slope with run further vertical. :) More horizontal rise equals less slope, and more vertical rise equals more slope. That is how quickly a line decreases or increases - when it increases further, a larger slope upward is indicated. When it decreases quickly, that's indicating a slower and small slope range. :) Hope that isn't too confusing. May not see this but felt compelled to give it a shot for anyone else who may come across this. :) Been out of high school a couple years but I still recall that much :3
I think im slow (witch isn’t a bad thing) but I have to watch this a few times for me to understand it right and fully. Im just so bad at math yet I want to be good at it I want to understand it but I just can’t :( - 8th grader
@@andersa222 this stuff is ALOT I found it difficult myself for yrs! but sorry to hear that, if you're having issues with solving the formulas try referencing some videos that help you with distributing properties because its alot of that in these linear equations
@@andersa222 and these Khan Academy videos he does a good job giving you visual representation of what he's trying to explain so try to really pay deep attention to the parts where he's graphing points cuz that makes it a bit easier once you see the lines on the graph
to be honest , i've always found it easy to learn from this guy, but unfortunately not for this time i learned the slope before and i forgot it but when i tried to learn it here again i was struggling to learn it this could be the worst explanation of slope i've ever heard

I’m in 7th grade honors so I am learning 8th grade math so this really helps!!
World's best explanation I have ever seen.
this makes SO much sense, literally im so grateful to you!! thsnk you very muchh

Sal you are the best maths teacher!
If the definition of slope that told us that " Slope is the numerical measure of steepness" So can we change "m = y2-y1/x2-x1 to m= x2-x1/y2-y1"?
Yeah I have a similar same question
Really grateful to have you. Thank you Khan Academy🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love this guy so much he teaches better than my teacher

It has something to do with height or depth or angles? 😢
Just like velocity and acceleration.

Similarly slope is constant increase or decrease in height or depth when you're moving in the vertical direction or mapping something that has height of depth related to the point where you're standing.

Would I do -5 - 2 or 2 - -5. The slope would be different based on which order i do. Please explain the order I should do it in.
y2 - y1 then x2 - x1
will be same irrespective of coordinates

Thanks. That helped
No clue what any of this stuff means, but it was an easy assignment so that’s cool
i will starg to pass math again thznks
Not English though
pfffthahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahha lol
Perfect 👍 also add .....slope of a straight line is the same at every point on the line ...but when it comes to a curve it changes
Bad lazy boy
Thank you good sir.
An easier equation for the gradient is RISE/RUN for the graph.try it out,it's really helpful.
(Change in y)÷(change in x)
But what does slope one represents?
My physics teacher told us to watch this as homework-
Ski slopes are always negative ;) otherwise you're not skiing lol the thing you ride on is where you experience the positive slope.
