Plot the first point. Remember that these are ordered pairs. That is, they are always in the order

then

. So the first number is the horizontal distance from 0, positive right and negative left, and the second number is the vertical distance from 0, positive up and negative down

Plot the second point.

Draw a line through the two points.

Use the slope formula:

where

and

are the coordinates of the given points.
