Answer:

The slope is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to the horizontal change between the same two points, the run. Aka Rise over Run.

The slope of a line is usually represented by the letter m.

(x1, y1) represents the first point whereas

(x2, y2) represents the second point.
