How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

If a line has a slope of 3, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

For every 3 units the line rises, it runs 1 unit horizontally.
