How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.
