M= Slope
M=(Y1-Y2)/(X1-X2)
If you have two points on a graph, say (3,7) and (2,5), then the "Y" variable would be the second number in each point and the "X" variable is the first number.
For example:
M= (7-5)/(3-2)
M=2/1
M=2, so the slope of a line between points (3,7) and (2,5) is 2.
Note you can pick either point to be point "1" or "2":
(5-7)/(2-3) = (-2)/(-1) = 2, as well.
