The slope of the line simply refers to the change in y, over the change in x, hence this can be represented or solved whether we are given with 1 point, or two points in the cartesian coordinate plane. The formulas below are designated with the number of points that is usually given in order to solve the slope of the line.
Formula of the slope of the line given two points:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
y1, x1, y2, and x2, must be defined.
Formula of the slope of the line given one point:
m = rise over run
m = y/x
