Answer:

Use the formula
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line given two points is
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), where x_1 and y_1 are the coordinate of one point, and x_2 and y_2 are the coordinates of another (different) point.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Answer: Since the slope of a line is the change in y divided by the change in x, given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) we can find the slope by calculating (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
