The slope of a line is y/x. A good way to remember it is "rise over run," i.e. y, being the "vertical" component on the grid, is the "rise," divided by x, the horizontal component or "run."

My math teacher always said rise (y) over run (x).
m = difference in the y's divided by the difference of the x's
m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 -x2)

definite, you will locate the gradient interior the comparable way, as you defined, yet bear in mind it relatively is distinction in log(y) over distinction in log(x). it relatively is important while and in case you come back to interpret your findings.

y = mx + b
m being the slope
