The difference in the y-values of two points on a line is equal to the vertical distance between those points. This difference is also known as the "rise" or the "change in y."
To calculate the difference in the y-values of two points (y₁, x₁) and (y₂, x₂) on a line, you simply subtract the y-coordinate of one point from the y-coordinate of the other:
Difference in y-values = y₂ - y₁
This calculation gives you the vertical distance between the two points on the line.

The---------------between any two points on a number line is the absolute of the difference of the coordinates?
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
What is the slope of the line formed by these two points 2 3 and 4 2?
To find the slope we need to divide the difference in rise between these two points by the difference in run between them. The difference in rise equals: 3-2 = 1. The difference in run between these points equals: 2-4 = -2.Now we just divide 1/-2 and we get the slope of the line formed by these two points: -0.5

a line with two end points
Do two points determine a plane?
No. Three points do. Two points determine a line.
What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
