How do I find slope?

To find the slope of a line, you can use the formula ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ), where ((x_1, y_1)) and ((x_2, y_2)) are two points on the line. This formula calculates the change in y (vertical change) over the change in x (horizontal change). A positive slope indicates the line rises from left to right, while a negative slope indicates it falls. If you're working with a linear equation in the form ( y = mx + b ), the slope is represented by the coefficient ( m ).
