Step 1.1
Slope is equal to the change in over the change in , or rise over run.
Step 1.2
The change in is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).
Step 1.3
Substitute in the values of and into the equation to find the slope.
