Finding Slope Between Two Points Challenge Day #1

This video introduces a 5-day slope challenge, focusing on finding the slope of a line through two points using the slope formula. The instructor presents a problem for day one, guiding viewers through the process of calculating the slope step-by-step. The video concludes with the final calculation, demonstrating that the slope of the line is 3. The lesson emphasizes understanding the slope formula and applying it to solve problems.

What is the main task for day one of the slope challenge?
