The slope of the line is equal to 2. The slope of a line is rise over run, or change in y over change in x. From one point to another on this line y increases by 2 and x increases by 1, which would be 2/1 or just 2. This slope or any other slope greater than 1 or less than -1 makes the line steeper. Another way to find slope is through the slope formula which is [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex], to use this plug in any two points and solve.
