How do you calculate a slope?

Take any two points whose x coordinates are different.Suppose they are P = (Xp, Yp) and Q = (Xq, Yq)

then slope = (Yp - Yq)/(Xp - Xq) = (Yq - Yp)/(Xq - Xp), that is the change in the y coordinate between the two points ("rise") divided by the change in the x coordinate between the points - taken in the same order ("run").
