How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

• slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• slope = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• slope = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• slope = (y2 + y1) / (x2 + x1)

If you have two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), how do you find the slope of the line passing through them?

• slope = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• slope = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• slope = (y2 - y1) / (x1 - x2) + 1

• slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
