Let's denote the first point (9,0) as . In other words, and

Now let's denote the second point (10,6) as . In other words, and



-------------------------



m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29 Start with the slope formula

m=%286-0%29%2F%2810-9%29 Plug in y%5B2%5D=6,y%5B1%5D=0,x%5B2%5D=10,x%5B1%5D=9


m=6%2F1 Subtract the terms in the numerator 6-0 to get 6. Subtract the terms in the denominator 10-9 to get 1

m=6 Reduce


---------------------
Answer:

So the slope of the line through the points (9,0) and (10,6) is m=6
