Treat the two plotted endpoints as a secant-slope problem. Read each coordinate with the graph scale, keep second-minus-first order for both vertical and horizontal changes, and divide rise by run. Because the endpoint readings may be estimated, the rate inherits that precision; its sign should agree with the secant's overall direction.
