The video tutorial explains how to find the slope between two points using the slope formula. It begins by introducing the concept of slope and the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The instructor then demonstrates how to identify and label the coordinates as x1, y1, x2, and y2. After labeling, the values are plugged into the formula, and calculations are performed to find the slope, which is determined to be 1.

What is the formula used to find the slope between two points?

M = Y1 - Y2 / X1 - X2

M = X1 - X2 / Y1 - Y2

M = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

M = X2 - X1 / Y2 - Y1
