Slope is equal to the change in Y divided by the change in X.

If on a graph, and you have two graphed points, you need to do Rise divided by Run.
First, move horizontally until you are in lined with the other point.
Y2-Y1
_____
X2-X1
Basically, the difference of the two Y coordinates divided by the difference of the two X coordinates.

you would plug in 6-3 (for the y's) and 4-2 (for the X's).. then solve. and you have slope.
