Human: What is the formula for defining a slope?

Assistant: Slope is defined as a ratio between two values, specifically the rise divided by the run. If you want to calculate the slope of a line, you might ask yourself “what is the rise and what is the run?” You might find it helpful to write it like this: the rise = y2 – y1 and the run = x2 – x1.
