Find Slope from Graph Using Nice Points 📈

In this DowMath video, learn how to find the slope of a line from a graph by identifying "nice points"—points with whole-number x and y values. Then, use rise over run to calculate slope step by step. Great for beginners and Algebra 1 students!

✅ What are “nice points”?
✅ How do you count rise and run?
✅ Tips to avoid slope mistakes!
