\(slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{2}{3}=\frac{rise}{6}\\ \qquad \frac{2}{3}=\frac{rise}{6}\\ \frac{2}{3}*\frac{6}{1}=\frac{rise}{6}*\frac{6}{1}\\ \frac{2}{\not{3}}*\frac{\not{6}^2}{1}=\frac{rise}{\not{6}}*\frac{\not{6}}{1}\\ \qquad rise=4\)

The slope can be expressed as rise/run (Always remember: the slope is rise over run. That will help you in the future.)
Since the slope is 2/3, the rise is 2 for every 3 units of run
There is 6 units of run, which is 3 times 2
Therefore, there must be 4 units of rise, because 2 times 2 is 4.
The verticle rise between the two points is 4.
