Finding Slope From Two Points

Front

What is the formula to find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

What does the slope of a line represent in a graph?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
