Answer
The slope of a line that passes through two points can be calculated by solving for the "change in the y-value" (the rise) divided by the "change in the x-value" (the run).
Work Step by Step
The slope of a line that passes through two points can be calculated by solving for the "change in the y-value" (the rise) divided by the "change in the x-value" (the run). To do this, we use the equation:
$\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$
