m=(18-0)/(8-2)=18/6=3

You graph those two points on a plane (you can use graph paper). Then you draw a line connecting them. The slope is the angle or length or something like that of the line. To find slope, you first graph the line. Then you can draw a triangle using that line as the hypotenuse. Next you divide the number of squares it goes up by the number of squares it goes over. (Rise divided by Run). The slope of that equation would be 3, since 18 (rise) divided by 6 (run) is equal to 3. Get it? It's confusing, I know!
The Slope is 3!
Hope that helped!

slope is change in y over change in x. going from 1st point to 2nd, y increases by 18 and x by 6, so slope is 18/6 = 3.

m= y2-y1/x2-x1
m=18-0/8-2
m=18/6
m=3
