Look at that Cartesian Plane
Isn't it just so beautiful?
X on the horizontal
Y up and down the vertical

Now there's this thing called slope
There are two ways that it's expressed
It's the rise over run
It's the change in y over the change in x

Slope measures the steepness of a line
A higher slope means a steep incline
And the reverse is also true
A low slope makes the line flatter too

See there's this thing called slope
There are two ways that it's expressed
It's the rise over run
It's the change in y over the change in x

Let's see slope yintercept form
y = mx + b, oh my!
The relationship between x and y
Depends on the constants m and b
m you see is the value of the slope
So a higher m means a steeper line
b is the yintercept
Where the line crosses the axis of y

Now there's this thing called slope
There are two ways that it's expressed
It's the rise over run
It's the change in y over the change in x

Slope is the rise over run!
Na na na na na na na na!
Slope is the rise over run!
