About this worksheet
Both methods compute the same thing, change in y over change in x. The graph version builds intuition; the formula version works for points too far apart to draw.
Finding slope worksheet generator
This generator makes a mixed finding slope worksheet: some problems show a line on a grid, others give two points. It is a quick review of both methods.

Teaching tip
After the sheet, ask which method students prefer and why. Their answers show who understands that the two are the same idea.
