Rise over run so it’s 4 over 2 the 4 is the rise (y)
And the 2 is the run (x)
You can simplify 4/2 with 2 so you just divide 4 divided by 2 which is 2
Then 2 divided by 2 is 1

Which then gives you 2/1 which is just 2
So the answer is 2

Slope = Rise/Run
Using the two points, rise (y) = 4 and run (x) = 2, so the slope is 2.

You can also use the slope formula:
(Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)
