How do you find the slope of a line when given 2 points?

The slope (m) = (delta y)/(delta x) m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) Given two points A(a,b) C(c,d) if A is the starting point (x1,y1) and C is the ending point (x2,y2) then m= (d-b)/(c-a) OR if C is the starting point then, m=(b-d)/(a-c) both will give you the same answer.
