Yeah, where I live, to find the slope (or as we call it, the gradient), you just have to do the two y values subtracted from each other, over the two x values subtracted from each other. The important thing is to remember that if you subtract the first y value from the second (so, 12 - 8), you have to do the same thing for the x (6 - 2)
[tex] \frac{12-8}{6-2} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{4}{4} [/tex] = 1.
The slope is 1.
