   how do you find slope from 2 points?     

 

   Divide the line's vertical change by it horizontal change.     

   One way to rememberr the process is is "rise over run".     

   Example, given two points on the line:  (8,5) and (12,7)     

                  

                    Δ y           7 – 5            2     

   Slope  =  ––––  =  ––––––––  =  –––  =  1 / 2     

                    Δ x         12 – 8            4
