The slope, m, of a line between two points is defined by (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1). Either of the two points can be labeled point 1 or 2. The points are in (x, y) format. Let's say Point 1 is (4,0) and point 2 is (0,4). Slope, m = (4-0)/(0-4) = 4/-4 = -1 = slope.

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