The slope is difference in y / difference in x, or, a little more expanded:

y2 - y1
--------
x2 - x1

Just calculate the difference of y and the difference of x, for two points. For example, if the points are (5,3) and (4,8), the slope is (8-3) / (2-5) = 5/(-1) = -5. Be careful to do both subtractions in the same order.
