Using any two points, calculate the differences in the Y and the X coordinates. Then take the difference between the Y and divide it by the difference in the X.

Example:

Points (1,3) and (4,9) are on a line. Determine the slope of the line.

X coordinates: 1 and 4.

4-1 = 3

Y coordinates: 3 and 9

9-3 = 6

Slope = Y/X = 6/3 = 2

The slope is 2
