Shout out to Mr. MacGregor's Class! Welcome to everyone who is here from his class! :)

:(
What should I do if it is an equation
@nami umi vertical is no slope
Horizontal is 0 slope
You said up two over one
"We can make it complicated but it doesn't have to be."
solid life advice right there.
:) Good point!
Why did you make this comment so complicated then?
@@backinyourcommentsectionag3191 How was it complicated? Either that or you’re slow. It’s just a quote at the top, with a tiny 5 worded sentence.

Glad I could help! :)

You have to know the difference between( to ) & (too)
The way he explains it as if he were a student himself really helps struggling students make a connection. I applaud you, sir 👏
Thanks a ton
It’s funny that we don’t know anyone from this comment box but we connect immediately after reading their message
True
please i had got an ad and it said "SERIOUSLY?! still searching youtube for maths problems??" 🤓
Dude while I was reading this an ad appeared saying Seriously still watching CZcams for math 😂
XD
"Are the videos from 2006 really helping????" Uhhhh think it came from studypug
At 1:31 😂 i laughed So loud.. that my mom thought that im watching any funny video 😂
ha ha! Glad it made your day a little brighter. :)
Glad Im not the only one!!! lol
man you are a genius you explain the concepts way better than anyone
That's super nice of you to say! Thanks!
@@EricBuffington welcome
This helped so much! Because of Covid we're going back to slope and I was always so terrible at it, I really need to pass math class this year to be able to go to a good high school and this video helped so so much! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Dude, did you make it to high school?
@@badalykr9531 yeah bro currently have a B in math
Thank you! You made it so easy to understand.
Thank you so much! I take 8th and 9th grade math and slope plays a very important part. this really helped me understand slope after struggling for weeks🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic!
Same...
I take 7th and 8th grade math
@@mettapeachhead2076 why did u fail a class?
I'm just grade 4 and I'm already learning this...😅😅
this is so helpful!! we’re going to learn about slope but now I’ll have a heads start! :)
Perfect! Always good to get a little ahead. :)
I am French and ever since I came here nobody has ever explain math exercises as I learned it in my country I mean not until I watch this video. U’re awesome dude
Glad it made sense. I learned in Canada, and in the US, so sometimes I explain it a little differently than people who only learned in one country. :)
I know I’m late but this helped me a lot, I was crying because I didn’t get it. It took my math teacher three weeks and took you seven minutes and I got it like that. Thank you sooo much 😁
Thanks for leaving the comment! I'm so happy that it helped!
Nifemi Ogunkanmi mine too
Thank you, you’ve helped more in 7 minutes than my teacher has in a week :)
You’re welcome 😊
I’m in my freshman year just now trying to learn the concept on slope due to my math teacher being in his first year of teaching and being an overall horrible teacher. Way to go Mr Fox
@Tin Chak Xu 😭😭we were supposed to learn in 8th grade but my teacher gave us all the answers to everything and never genuinely taught us anything so i didn’t learn how to slope until the end of freshman year
@Tin Chak Xu basically, he didn’t show us how to do it, and instead gave us all the answers because he got paid based on how his students were testing that year. If he had atleast gave us the formula, or explained the formula it probably would’ve been easier to figure out🧍🏽♀️
@Tin Chak Xu bro i’m a junior now, it’s literally not that deep lmao i don’t use or need slope formula anymore. i was also 13 and grades don’t matter in middle school, no one genuinely cares about this as much as u do. i promise it’s not that important lmao
Thank you! This really helped me!
Also, can I just point out that "Eric Buffington" is literally the most badass name I've ever heard? No joke.
YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE!!! Slope has always been so hard for me and i never fully understood it until now so Thank You!!!!
So glad you reached out and left a comment!
There are lots of teachers but not all of them are able to help others understand you are gifted . Thank you !
Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful!
3:54 I'm wheezing lol
:)
same I cheated but I dont understand slopes soo....
@@favicarrion4619 lol same but then I rewatched and did them
Truly appreciate your skill in simplifying math concepts and keeping it interesting. When I am looking for a video to introduce or support the teaching of a concept, I always look for yours first. And, the best part is, my students agree! They like like it when they see it's Mr. Buffington. :)
I'm so happy to hear that! :) Shout out to your classroom from Mr. Buffington! :) Have a wonderful day everyone! :)
I love how this guy replies to everyone's comments even after 5 years.
😀
Negative and positive sign is driving me nuts.
Somebody help..
Oooo
@@DCSMdYusufAzam hey
@@yusufkelashipour2388 hi where are you from
think of it like descending a staircase instead of going up. Or an air balloon coming down
If you are going up and right, the signs will be positive. But if you're going down and left, the signs are negative.
never in my life understood the actual definition of a slope, only memorized it's formula, but now i do all thanks to you.
Not only did you explain it so well, you have replied to commends since 2 years ago, 1 year ago, 1 month ago, and even yesterday!
And Even today! :)
Words can't describe how grateful I am, I literally have a unit test on slopes tmrw, and came in last minute to study, your video was such a great help and explanation, and helped me so much, I had no idea what I was going to do. God bless you!
Glad I could help!
I spent a month trying to learn this for my year 8 exams, and you literally taught this to me in 7 minutes, thank you so much for this!!!1111
You're very welcome!
Hello there
After going through tons of CZcams videos, finally this is what I was looking for. So simple and elegant explanation. Understood about Slope way much better than any other video. Thank you.
Glad it helped! I really appreciate the comment! Thanks!
I have subscribed

Thanks!
This is the first time a CZcams video actually helped me thank you
That's sad and good at the same time! :)
Omg, thank you so much! I did not understand this and I was very stressed about that! Now I understand ❤️
So glad it helped! :)
23, going back to college and refreshing all my math skills, thanks for the vid.

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment!
Thankyou for helping me :) now i understand slopes!( you made it fun 😊)

There are two types of CZcams teachers. There’s the complicated, boring ones, and there’s you. 👍
Wow! I appreciate the comments! :)
The rise and run of my IQ just increased. Thanks!
ha ha! Nice!
Oml thank you so much😭😭. This is the first time math antics did not help😭😭. I’m subbing here

:) Yuppers! :)
this was my first time trying to learn slope and you made it so so so easy to understand. Thank you so much!!
You're so welcome!
I appreciate the breakdown. Imma have to look for the harder slope breakdowns.
I could already do this kind easy enough.
Keep on posting brother! People need the help more than ever.
You got this!
I think I love Mr.Buffington!! He is sooo smart!!
ummmm.... i respect your decition?...
My math teacher will be shocked of me, thank you so much very helpful
Nice! Great job looking for extra help. That is one key to being successful!
Thank you so much. I have a test this Monday. Now I feel Like I'll be doing great. But just in case I'll check more of your videos to see if it helps
good luck on the test!
Ariel is 100% correct. It took two weeks to teach this and you explained it perfectly
So glad this video was useful for you! 😀
aa i rewatched my professors 30 min explanation of slope several times and i didn’t understand anything but i understood everything right away from your video,, saved me tysm i hope you’re having a great day!
Glad it helped! I am having a great day thank you for asking! :) I hope your day is also amazing! :)
Thank you so much! My teacher made it rlly confusing to me.. thanks for the clear up!
Happy to help! :)
omg thanks so much! You make it fun and easy. Now a days ppl are making math more difficult like they need to think about how hard the other students are doing but thx to u i understand more!
I don't think it needs to be difficult. I'm glad this video makes it a little easier to understand! :)
Greatest teacher of all time. I could not leave without saying thank you with all my heart!
Thanks! That means the world to me! Have a wonderful day! :)
Thank you so much, sir! You honestly saved my scores! My teacher tried to teach us this but we couldn't understand a single thing so i thought i was gone for. I am beyond grateful! You don't sound intimidating at all and actually made me enjoy the lesson... Thank you so much! Love you lots and hope you are healthy and happy!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it helped!
@@EricBuffington ❤️❤️❤️
I think this is a good video it has helped me alot understand the math i understand slopes now rise and run, and how to plot the points that is needed to be plotted. the ladies here have really helped me understand what i am doing
yes
Excellent tutorial two thumbs up
Thanks! :)
I’ve never understood graphing, always ignored it on tests, exams...all that. It makes me cry. Thank you.
You can do it!
Spent *WEEKS* in school learning to do this and never understood. I understand it completely after watching a 7 minute video. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
This makes it sooo much easier thanks so much!
So happy I could help!
Thank you so much my teacher made this much more difficult than it actually is.
Happy to help!
Thank You sir, this was very much helpful!!
Dude you are saving me right now.
I'm an honors student for the first time since 2nd grade and they gave me a ton of extra work. It scared me a bit and threw me off. I've been doing worse at school but then my parents showed me this video and I understood this so I've went through your whole page and It's helped me so much with understanding everything i've been struggling with.
I love this comment so much! Best of luck in your honors course!
same-! Since second grade too
thank you mr. buffington, 41 and dropped out at 15, so this is soooo very helpful!!!
I'm glad you are watching! Thanks for the comment and good luck with your education! You have my respect! :)
Thanks mr. Buffington it was hard to understand slope but thanks to u it became easy ❤❤
A follower frome egypt 💘
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching from Egypt!
i've been studying calculus alone with with content in english on youtube (english is not my first language), and i was not understanding the concept of slope when talking about derivative, thx for the help
You make it so simple, thank you
Glad it's now easier for you! :)
Thank you this helped so much!
Thanks for the comment! Have a wonderful day!
I got a little confused cuz the lines weren't straight but it really helped, especially cuz my Math exam's tomorrow. I bow down to your superior thinking
Good luck on your exam!
I don't think you understand how much you helped me, i suffer from mental issues and this simplified it enough for me to understand my teachers never help me so I have to do my own research
I'm so glad that this video helped! All the best!
This one CZcams Video explained what I was trying to learn for months, Huge shout outs to Eric Buffington! It is crazy how primitive schools have become and how advanced Digital Video has come.
Boom!
@@EricBuffington Thanks bro your freaking awesome keep on doing what you are doing!
I’m so happy I nearly thought I was so dumb for not getting it you sir are a hero
You are definitely not dumb! Math can be confusing. Just keep looking for help and practicing! It will become easier as you keep at it! Good luck! Have a wonderful day!
Very well explained! Thank you, Sir!!👍🏻👌🏻
Glad it helped!
I passed my GED on 12/28/18 i failed 2xs. I started watching u and others on youtube. And it helped me so much. Thanks for freely giving back.
Congrats! That makes me so happy to hear!
Love your methods of teaching! Absolutely phenomenal 👍🏽💯
I appreciate this feedback! Thanks!
Oh my goodnesssss I'm begging be my teacher you explain everything so perfect I literally understand it know just by watching once
So nice of you to say!
Thanks Mr. Buffington. I never understood slope of the line until I clicked on this video. I have an up and coming GED exam on February 28th. I will just practice and do my best.
Good luck on the GED! Study hard!
Thanks Master!! Was able to decode well.
why did they had to call it "rise over run" that statement confused me
I don't know where that came from, but hope the video helped clarify that for you. Keep working at it and it'll become more clear in time. :)
Maybe rises the Y axis since it goes up and run is the X axis since it goes across like you’re running across some thing or rising up I don’t know to be honest I just thought of that
This was SOOO helpful!!!
Amazing! Glad it helped!
thank you this really helped me with slopes
Sir, i mean how could it be so easy... I have been tryin' to understand slope since real 1 week, but in just few minutes i got it all..... Fr the best teacher
Thanks so much! All the best!
Excellent. Thank you
That a so helped me a lot. Thanks
All these years… why was it never this simple when I was in school? Thank you for doing this video
So glad it helped! :)
thank you so much!!! i've been practising for my SAT test and i was struggling so much with this (english is not my mothertongue and i didn't realize that i knew all of this). it saved me sooo much time and energy!!!
Glad it helped! Best of luck on the SAT!
sobbing my EYES out over slope and you saved my life. thank you so much man 😭😭😭😭
I was literally crying to my best friend because I had trouble doing this till she showed me this video 😭 Tysmm
So glad the video helped! :)
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. Trying to help my Grade 9 son with homework when I don't understand it, is NOT fun, for either of us. I feel much more confident now and I am going to share your videos with him. THANK YOU1
Love to hear it! Glad I could help!
Thank you Sir. The explaining with animation just clear all my doubts.
Glad to hear that!
This helped me a lot. I was failing my math class before I watched this video. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear that it helped! :)

I forgot everything during a quiz (aka right now lol) and so I came on here. Helped lots, thanks!
Happy to help!
You're better than my math teacher, this is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be!
So glad the videos make it easier for you! :) Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the sub!
@@EricBuffington your welcome
I wish you were my teacher😭
