Write me a Python script for the slope of a line given two points.
gpt
This Python script will calculate the slope of a line for you:

# Define a function to calculate the slope
def slope(x1, y1, x2, y2):
    # Check for a division by 0
    if (x2 - x1) != 0:
        return (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
    else:
        print("Cannot divide by 0.")

# Set the known coordinates
x1 = 4
y1 = 2
x2 = 2
y2 = 1

# Print the result of the function
print(slope(x1, y1, x2, y2))

The script defines a `slope()` function that accepts the arguments `x1`, `y1`, `x2`, and `y2`. It checks for a potential division by zero with an `if/else` statement, then returns the value of the slope based on the equation (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). The coordinates are set with the variables `x1`, `y1`, `x2`, and `y2`, and the function is called with respect to those variables in a `print()` statement that outputs the returned slope value.
