You probably have a whole list of exercises, and in each exercise, TWO points are given. For each exercise, then , you are given only two points. To find the slope, you must find the , which can be found with this famous formula:

According to this formula, to find the RISE, you must subtract the y coordinates, and to find the RUN, you must subtract the x coordinates. Then just take the RISE OVER the RUN. That will be the slope between the two points.
