how do you find the slope of a line? and is it possible to find it by taking two points on a line?

I can't find my previous answer, so here it is again.
Use any two points on the line. Divide the change in y by the change in x.
To find the slope of a line, you can use the formula:
slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x)
The change in y is the difference between the y-coordinates of two points on the line, and the change in x is the difference between the corresponding x-coordinates of those points.
Yes, it is absolutely possible to find the slope of a line by taking two points on the line. In fact, it is one of the most common methods used. To do this, you choose any two points on the line and calculate the change in y and change in x between those points. Once you have these values, you can then substitute them into the slope formula to find the slope of the line.
