In this TI-Nspire CX tutorial, the Graph Window and Spreadsheet Window are used to calculate the slope of the line between two points. The coordinates of the points are linked to variables, which are then used in the Spreadsheet Window to calculate the slope. The split-screen, dynamically linked windows allow you to manipulate the points, while getting an updated value for the slope. Note: This video does not include audio.
