if your given points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)..the slope is change of y over change in x
:
so m or slope would be y2-y1/x2-x1
:
with that information with the slope and a point you can find the equation of the line with the point slope formula. y-k=m(x-h) where m is the slope and (h,k) is any point on the line

Given point defined by the ordered pair (,) and point defined by the ordered pair (,), the slope of the line defined by these two points is given by:

By the way, it doesn't matter which point you call and which you call
