The simplest way is to convert the equation into slope-intercept form

y=Mx+B

M is the slope and B is the y-intercept

If you are given two points (X,Y) and (x,y) then you can use the following formula formula

M=(Y-y)/(X-x)

Other ways are possible and sometimes easier, but you will almost always be able to use these two

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
