Answer:

Slope is equal to the change in y y over the change in x x, or rise over run. m = change in y change in x m = change in y change in x. The change in x x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run ), and the change in y y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise ). m = y2 −y1 x2 −x1 m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1.
