In this TI-Nspire CX tutoria llearn how to program a function for solving quadratic equations.

In this TI-Nspire CX tutorial, the Graph Window is used to calculate the slope of the line between two points. The text window is used to generate a formula linked to coordinate values. Note: This video does not contain audio.

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.

In this Nspire CX tutorial, randomly create two points in a Spreadsheet Window. Graph them as a scatterplot. Connect the two points using the Line tool, then measure the slope of the line. Creating new random coordinates will yield a new line with a new slope. Note: This video does not include audio.

In this TI-Nspire CX tutorial, use the Geometry tools to construct a line whose measurements for the rise and run can be used to calculate the slope. Note: This video does not contain audio.

In this Nspire CX tutorial learn how to find the slope between two points connected by a line.

In this Nspire CX tutorial linear functions in slope-intercept form are graphed using sliders.
