We can use the slope formula to help us find the slope here. The slope formula is . Plugging in your numbers you get . Make sure you keep the values of the points in order. You can use either points first, but you can't mix them up! Which becomes . Which then becomes slope = 2/6=1/3. So, 1/3 is the slope of the line. I hope this helps!
